The brown scheme is soon to be extended in Ashton Due to the success of the scheme and positive feedback from residents the brown bin scheme is being expanded in 2009 to 75,000 more properties.
Properties that currently do not have green bins for garden waste and do not have a recycling point close by are being prioritised for inclusion in the expansion. The delivery of the attached leaflet to residents included on the scheme will begin on 12January 2009.
The leaflet gives brief details about the brown bin scheme and gives residents the opportunity to request a smaller bin if they wish. Smaller black, green and brown bins are now available for residents if they want to exchange their larger bins via the Environmental Services Helpline on 01942 404364. This has been introduced at the request of residents, following consultation on the trial brown bin scheme.
Following the delivery of this first leaflet, residents will receive their new brown bin with a second calendar leaflet, explaining when to put their new brown bin out for collection and what recyclables to include. All brown bins will have a sticker on the inside of the lid with details of what can be included. It is anticipated that all properties on this expansion will receive their bins by the end of April 2009, with delivery of bins starting on 2 February 2009.
If you want to know if you are going to receive a brown bin or need more information please contact me.
