With the recycling service now covering batteries, cans, cardboard, food, glass, garden waste, paper, plastic, textiles and now tetrapak, the amount we sent to landfill in BathNES has reduced even further.

It is now possible to collect all of our residual waste with one fewer lorry, saving the taxpayer hundreds of thousand per year, contributing to the Lib Dem’s council tax freeze. Waste collection will still happen on the same day (Friday for most of Bathwick), but it might happen at a different time.

The bin lorries operate between 7am and 3pm; please make sure that your black bags are out on time. The change to collect times will begin next week.
