What happens to the collected waste?
The waste is
collected via the brown bin and is sent to a local composting
facility (County Mulch in Creeting St Mary) to be shredded and
turned into soil improver, which is then available to buy at our
Household Waste & Recycling Centres.
Fees
The charge for this service is £40
per annum. For this you will receive a fornightly collection
of your garden waste and the hire of a 240 litre brown
bin for the subscription period. This type of collection
service is optional and not included within Council Tax charges,
preventing residents not wishing to undertake the service from
subsidising the scheme.
How does the scheme work?
Once payment has
been received, a 240 litre brown bin will be delivered to your
address with details of future collections. The Council will notify
you of your first collection day when the bin is delivered.
The collection service operates all year round on a fortnightly
basis with a minimum of 24 collections during each subscription
period. (There are no collections over the Christmas and New Year
period.)
Benefits to you and the environment
This
service offers residents an easy and convenient way to recycle
their garden waste all year round. The service will also help
increase the amount of garden waste that is not currently recycled,
diverting much of the current garden waste from landfill, where it
produces large amounts of methane gas, a contributing factor in
global warming.
