Bin Collection Update from Derbyshire Dales
Posted in Local government on Monday February 28, 2022| Leave a Comment »
The permanent closure today of the privately owned Vital Earth reprocessing facility in Ashbourne means residents are asked for the next four weeks to mix food waste in your domestic waste containers.
All food caddy collections are paused from tomorrow (1 March).
While Derbyshire Dales District Council remains one of the few councils locally to offer separate food waste collections, we apologise for the temporary inconvenience to our residents.
Vital Earth has for a number of years recycled food and garden waste from Derbyshire Dales collections into compost, used in horticulture and sold in bags at local garden centres.
The District Council has been negotiating with Serco on the new arrangements and has identified alternative recycling sites in the north and south of Derbyshire that will take the district’s garden waste, which means garden waste collections continue unchanged for residents on bin collections.
Unfortunately while one of the new sites will accept garden waste in compostable sacks, the other will not and we cannot split the Dales into separate collection areas. Residents on sack collection rounds who subscribe to our garden waste scheme have already received a direct communication from the Council about this.
We have identified an alternative option for food waste disposal and will update you on this in four weeks when operational details have been finalised with Serco.
Bins Update

This message received from Derbyshire Dales District Council-
While household waste and recycling collections currently remain a day later than usual this week due to Monday’s floods, Serco are catching up faster than expected with some garden, food and trade waste collections.
This means some garden, food and trade waste collections have happened on residents’ usual day today – we apologise on Serco’s behalf for the lack of communication on this.
However, Serco will go back for any garden waste and food collections missed yesterday and today if you were working to the revised day-late schedule and didn’t put your container out. Simply complete the missed bin form at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/missedbin
The new message for the rest of this week is to leave garden and food waste containers out for collection *on your usual collection day*, but household waste and recycling collections will continue to be a day later than usual. Serco’s crews will work on Saturday to catch up.
MARVELLOUS!

Bin Collection One Day Late
Posted in Local government on Monday February 21, 2022| Leave a Comment »
All bin collections will be one day later than usual for the remainder of this week due to rounds being cancelled today because of widespread flooding across the Dales.
It means collections that were scheduled for today will now happen tomorrow, and Tuesday’s on Wednesday etc. Serco crews will be working on Saturday to complete the week’s rounds.

and perhaps food caddy…
as our council tells us –
Last week council staff emptied more than 2,200 caddies, equating to around 24 tonnes of food waste. Our own Clean & Green teams will again assist on Tuesday and Friday this week with food waste collections.
One can only dream that serco will be reimbursing the Council for this?

Bin Collection Update
Posted in Local government on Monday November 29, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Serco will restart separate weekly collections of food waste on Derbyshire Dales residents’ scheduled collection day from this coming Monday, 29 November.
Separate food waste collections were suspended at the end of July due to the national shortage of HGV drivers impacting the District Council’s waste and recycling service. This freed up teams to focus on domestic and recycling waste.
As promised, the three months suspension of excess recycling, which started from 30 August, will also be lifted from 29 November. We are appealing though to residents to please be mindful that putting out lots of excess at the first opportunity could lead to trucks filling up more quickly than usual and rounds not being completed.
Please therefore try to limit excess for the time being and see our advice on how to present excess recycling so it is easily identifiable at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/excessrecycling

There has been some disruption to collections due to strike action by Serco crews however best information I have is that domestic waste (grey bin) is being prioritised so we should get a normal collection.

Have your say on council services
Derbyshire Dales District Council is undertaking a Resident Survey this month, asking for views on the services it delivers and how local people feel about the area. The information will help the District Council to improve the policies and services it delivers while finding out what matters most to local people.
A randomly selected group of residents are receiving a copy of the survey through the post, which they can complete online if they wish. Members of the District Council’s online panel of residents will also receive a link to complete the survey.
Any resident can also complete the survey now at https://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/residentsurvey21
A District Council spokesperson said: “This year’s survey has two new features. First, residents will be asked to record their views and the reasons for them, as well as selecting a graded response. Second, we are requesting postcodes information to assist us in identifying the areas where we need to focus our actions and to follow up on any points raised.”
For more information about the survey contact Derbyshire Dales District Council’s Policy Officer on 01629 761240 during office hours [Tuesday to Thursday].
The spokesperson added: “The Derbyshire Dales Online Panel is one of the ways in which we listen to residents and people who work in the Dales. Around 950 people have already joined the Panel and we’d love to have more.
“Panel members respond to online surveys on topics that are of interest to them and receive fewer than six surveys a year.” To join the Panel go to www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/enewsreg

Changes to District Council Boundaries
Posted in Local government on Sunday September 5, 2021| Leave a Comment »
The interactive map in the consultation shows the current, previously proposed and latest proposals for changing Derbyshire District Council ward boundaries. “Dovedale & Parwich” and part of what was “Carsington Water” are merged into one ward. The previous proposal was to call this new ward “White Peak”. The revised proposals give the ward the name “Dovedale, Parwich & Brassington”. You can support this change (or not) by responding to the consultation.

Another update from DDDC, make of it what you will –
Some better news: All scheduled household waste and recycling rounds are collecting today.
There’s a possibility some rounds may not be completed due to the sheer volume of recycling going into the trucks – we’ll report on this later.
Serco are still some staff down which means 4 out of today’s scheduled 5 food waste rounds are operating.
We do also have a catch-up crew out recovering some missed collections, though, as you are well aware, the catch-up is going to take some time, for which we again apologise.
We can confirm also that an extraordinary full meeting of the District Council on 27 July will debate the ongoing waste and recycling issues. We’ll promote the report to that meeting on all our communications channels as soon as it is finalised and published, including via this e-newsletter.
A reminder that you can report a missed collection at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/missedcollection
