Devonport Dollars are a great gift, think of them next time you are shopping for that hard to buy person...... Cardboard Collection Businesses are reminded to only leave waste cardboard out for collection Monday to Friday. Unfortunately Council is unable to collect waste cardboard from businesses over the weekend as Veolia’s recycling plant doesn’t operate on weekends. In recent weeks some businesses have been leaving out waste cardboard for collection on the weekends but this cardboard has been collected with the garbage and ended up in landfill. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
