Changes to Recycling collections

Wilts Council has approved changes to the recycling collection services.

During October and November 2011 all households will start to receive a

fortnightly collection of plastic bottles and cardboard, in addition to

the existing fortnightly black box collection for paper, cans, glass,

foil, clothes and shoes.

February to March 2012 will see the county-wide introduction of a

garden waste collection service to all those who request it and

fortnightly collections of all other household waste in the north and

south of the county, in line with the east and west of the county where

fortnightly collections are already in place.

The new bins for cardboard and plastic bottles collections will be

distributed from September, to those households which currently don’t

have them. All changes to the waste and recycling collection services

are set to be completed in the spring of 2012.

All households will receive a leaflet this summer about the new service.
