Bulky waste collections to resume
The council confirmed earlier this week that there would be no decision made yet on reopening recycling centres, but the resumption of this service is a small step forwards.
Cllr Heulwen Hulme, Cabinet Member for Waste and Recycling, said: “Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, and despite staff shortages and different working guidelines, kerbside collection services have continued as normal across the county.
“The only exception to this was the temporary suspension of the bookable bulky waste collections. This allowed us to concentrate our resources on collecting waste and recycling from households at a critical time.
“However, we are now in a position to resume this service for residents who want to book a collection for a bulky waste item.”
Collections can be booked online and are currently limited to 10 collection slots per day from each depot. Initially, for the first few weeks, they will be unable to collect fridges, freezers or televisions as the council does not currently have an outlet to recycle hazardous electricals safely.
As before, up to three standard items can be collected for a £30 charge.
On the day of collection, all items must be left outside, as close to the boundary of the property as possible. Crews will be unable to enter your property or remove items from houses, sheds or garages.
