Residents living in the Helston and West Cornwall area will soon be provided with new waste and food bins from Cornwall Council.
Over the next few weeks, people living in Penzance, Marazion, Sennen, St Buryan, St Just, St Ives, Hayle, Helston, the Lizard and their surrounding areas will be provided with new food waste caddies, rubbish bins and protective sacks in the upcoming weeks.
The new service will also see rubbish being collected fortnightly instead of the usual weekly collection, with some residents seeing a change in the day when rubbish and recycling will be collected.
The current red, orange and blue bags, as well as the box, will be collected fortnightly.
The key elements of the new waste service in Cornwall are:
Weekly food waste collections.
Fortnightly rubbish collections in a wheelie bin or protective sack.
Fortnightly recycling collections in the current recycling bags and boxes.
New collection days for most residents.
Recycling collection week changes for some residents.
Over the next two years, households across Cornwall will be sent:
A silver kitchen caddy to make it easy to separate food waste from rubbish.
A green outdoor collection caddy for storing and putting out your food waste for collection.
A wheelie bin or reusable protective sack to put out rubbish for collection.
To keep residents updated on the changes, the council will be sending out a ‘Get Ready’ leaflet which will include all the relevant information regarding the new containers and how to recycle food waste.
