I don't have a kerbside collection yet, but they do on the other side of town. Why is this?

Establishing an effective kerbside recycling service takes time and a lot of planning by your Council recycling team. Often new specialised recycling vehicles have to be ordered in and information distributed to each householder providing details of the new collections – all this takes time. If you are not yet served by a kerbside service, be patient, it’s likely to be on its way. Remember your council has Civic Amenity sites where you can recycle your materials for free and many supermarkets also have recycling banks so remember to Drop before you Shop!
