The Derbyshire Dales DC online consultation about charging for replacement wheelie bins runs upto the 30th of September (click here to participate in their survey).
As well as the District Council consultation, the Blog Team thought it worth asking some additional questions here. (Click here to see our original post.) There have been some interesting results and comments to our poll which you can still participate in.
We feel that Derbyshire Dales offers an excellent waste collection and recycling service, which compares well with other Authorities, and they respond well to any disruption to collections. What do you think?
Replacement refuse and recycling containers cost the Council some £28,000 per year.
Providing the free black refuse sacks and biodegradable garden waste bags to households not using wheelie bins cost £30,000 pa.
The Council also provide the bio-degradable food waste bags free to households
Do you have any other suggestions for improving the waste and recycling collection services?
Please add any thoughts or ideas on other possible cost savings measures in relation to waste/recycling collections as comments below.
We will send the above poll results and any comments to the District Council before the end of the consultation on 30th of September, but it is import if you want your views to be considered that you also complete the Council’s own online survey (click here to participate in their survey).
If you currently need to replace a missing waste/recycling container you can phone the District Council or order on line at http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/environment-and-waste/bins-recycling/order-newreplacement-container
