Waste Collection and Recycling in our Parish |
|
Everything you need to know to comply with our council's recycling process. |
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. or by visiting the Council Offices Quay House in Kingsbridge.
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).
