Part of the issue with litter on our streets is the incorrect presentation of rubbish and recycling for collection.
In Twerton and Whiteway we have rubbish collected every fortnight on a Friday and recycling is collected every week on a Friday.
Every household across the area should have either a black bin or black reusable rubbish sack in which to put their household waste, we would encourage as many households as possible to recycle their waste as this reduces the amount of rubbish to be put into these containers and therefore means extra black bags are less likely to be put out.
The flats across the area have a slightly different storage solution, a number of these have dedicated large bins in bin stores which should only be used for household waste and not for anything else like broken appliances etc.
Recycling containers are not restricted, every household is entitled to green boxes, blue sack (for cardboard) and black food containers.
The food waste containers come in 2 sizes a small caddy for internal use and a larger one that you can then put the bags from the internal caddy into. Food waste can be put out in plastic bags, or you can get caddy bags from the Council.
The green boxes are not restricted to a single box per household, if you require more receptacles for your recycling please do get in touch with Council connect or you can order additional boxes here, This link also shows exactly what can be recycled and when your collection days are.
The Council also offers a garden waste recycling service, you can either purchase single use green waste bags or you can pay an annual charge and use a wheelie bin to put you green waste out every fortnight.
If you have any questions about the rubbish or recycling service, please do get in touch with Tim or Sarah. We are keen to get as many residents to present their waste correctly to help improve the condition of our streets.
