BIN COLLECTION / RECYCLING
As of October 2011 nearly all bin collections in Croydon will change. The Council are introducing a weekly food waste collection to every household – with the aim of reducing the remaining contents of your landfill bins, after normal recycling, by 30%. This will cut the amount of waste we send to environmentally damaging landfill sites. Houses and small blocks of flats will be the first to get the new service, followed by larger blocks of flats before March next year. We will also be collecting one of your recycling boxes each week, meaning that we only have to collect landfill rubbish every other week. for more information please visit - http://www.croydon.gov.uk/environment/rrandw/bins-oct2011/ |
