Changes to Recycling Collection Days from 1st March 2010EDDC will be making some major changes to their Green Bag & Box and Brown Bin collection rounds in March 2010. The attached document shows the current and new days on which collections will take place from each area of the district. You will see that the new collection rounds work in a 'sweep' across the district and will result in more crews working in adjacent areas. This will make it easier for EDDC to arrange support for crews if there are vehicle problems and to more efficiently deal with catch up work after public holidays (and disruption caused by snow and ice!). The new rounds will make the change to the new recycling collection vehicles more efficient when they are introduced in Spring 2011 and will also allow EDDC to serve an additional 185 properties in rural areas (there will only be 75 properties in the District that will not have access to our kerbside recycling service). All residents who receive a kerbside recycling service will be sent a letter during the first 2 weeks in February that will explain how the changes will effect them. The letter will also include new versions of EDDC sorting guide(s), which explain what can and cannot be collected, together with a date card showing the new collection days for the fortnightly Green Bag & Box service and a battery/phone bag. The new rounds will commence on 1 March 2010. There will be no changes to refuse collection days. |
