Residents reminded about upcoming festive waste collection changes
Councillor Mark Elliott, cabinet member for resources, praised residents’ efforts and warned that Christmas and New Year remain a particularly busy time for collection crews, with waste typically rising by 30%.
He said: “To help them collect quickly as they cope with the increased amount of rubbish and recycling, especially food waste, we encourage everyone to wash, squash and sort their waste before putting it in the green recycling boxes.
