Shropshire Council is changing many of its recycling and waste collection days to make the system more efficient and reduce the mileage its bin lorries travel.
New collection calendars are being delivered over the next few days
From November 7, changes will be made to some recycling and waste collection days in these areas to make the collection service more efficient, and reduce the distances that the collection lorries need to travel on their rounds. Around 75 per cent of households in the three areas, about 78,000 properties, will see their collection day change.
Ian Nellins, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member responsible for waste management, said: “The important message to residents in the south Shropshire, north Shropshire and Shrewsbury areas is: please look out for your new collection calendar when it’s delivered. This will tell you if your collection day is changing, and to what day. It will also give south Shropshire residents information about their collection change.
