The Blue Bins are coming!
I received an email this morning from the Senior Waste Management Officer this morning telling me that the new blue recycling bins are going to be delivered in Stonefield and Christchurch ward over the next week. And, a couple of hours later as I was delivering the lunches for the Age Concern Luncheon Club, I drove past three very large lorries loaded high with the bins in Newcastle Road.
The introduction of the blue bins and the associated fortnightly household waste collection has been rather controversial, to say the least. Personally, I don’t think it will cause Janet and me any major problems. We are avid recyclers and compost everything compostable anyway. I do however understand the concerns especially of large families. This is clearly an issue that will need to be carefully monitored.
The email from the Borough Council did state that if anyone has any queries they should contact the Council’s Customer Contact Centre on 01785 619873
