Waste Collection and Recycling in our Parish

Everything you need to know to comply with our council's recycling process. ​


2019-20  SPECIAL CHRISTMAS COLLECTION DATES

Picture


​GENERAL INFORMATION  -  Last updated 9th December 2019

Clear Sacks, Blue Sacks and the Brown Wheely Bin are collected on the same day in one week.
Non-Recyclable waste in the Grey Wheely Bin is collected the next week.
IN OTHER WORDS,  EACH COLLECTION DATE IS A TWO WEEK CYCLE.

Extra rolls of Clear & Blue Plastic Bags can be requested from the pick-up trucks directly, through the SHDC website (see link at bottom of page), or by emailing waste@swdevon.gov.uk.

PUTTING CLEAR OR BLUE PLASTIC BAGS OUT EARLIER THAN THE NIGHT BEFORE THE MORNING PICKUP IS NOT A GOOD IDEA AS THEY BLOW ABOUT IN THE WIND MAKING AN UNSIGHTLY MESS IN THE VILLAGE ROADS AND FOR YOUR NEIGHBOURS. 

​Glass is not collected, nor a box supplied, so must be taken to Local Bottle Banks in your own box.
They are listed here:

Thurlestone Hotel Car Park ( <0.5 miles)
Church House Inn Car Park - Churchstow ( 3.0 miles)
Cattle Market Car Park, Rope Walk Road, Kingsbridge (back of the Tone Sports Centre). 


Below is how your household rubbish must be sorted and the Collection dates for the two week cycle collection schedule. (If out of date see SHDC link below).
Calendar A applies to all properties in Thurlestone, Bantham and Buckland.
