Big bin shake-up on May 8
May 2017
Roadshows to explain changes to collections
From Monday May 8, Plymouth will move to alternate weekly collections with recyclables – in green bins – collected one week and the following week nonrecyclable waste – in brown bins – will be collected. The roadshows will give people the chance to find out about the changes as well as more general hints and tips about recycling, food waste and composting. Councillor Michael Leaves, Cabinet Member for Street Scene and the Environment for Plymouth City Council, said: “The roadshows will be on a drop-in basis at different locations around the city and are open to everyone. “We are making changes to increase recycling rates but also to run a smoother
and more efficient, cost effective service for local residents. The alternate weekly collections system has already been running successfully in a number of other cities across the UK for many years.” Wednesday April 26: St Budeaux Community Centre, 9.30am to 12pm. Wednesday April 26: Tamar View Community Centre, Barn Barton, 1pm to 4pm. Friday April 28: Morrisons, Outland Road, Plymouth, 9.30am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm. Tuesday May 2: Southway Shopping Centre (outside Co-op), 9.30am to 12pm. Tuesday May 2: Ernesettle Shops (outside Co-op), 1pm to 4pm.
