PARISH
SKIPS
Unfortunately
this popular SDC funded service, which has enabled householders to
dispose of non-hazardous waste will have to cease at the end of March.
This is because the County Council, as waste disposal authority, is
no longer prepared to accept the waste from the skips as it cannot
be regulated and may therefore breach disposal site licence conditions.
Whilst
other options are being explored it is worth highlighting that this
Council provides a substantial waste recycling service, which has
developed considerably since the parish skip service was introduced.
To encourage householders to treat waste as resource rather than something
to be thrown away the following services are provided:-
•
‘Door to Door’ collections of paper, glass,
mixed cans, tin foil, plastic bottles and household batteries (from
April)
•
Recycling facilities at 39 locations around
the District that accept the materials mentioned above. Some of
these sites also accept books, clothes, cardboard and videos
•
‘Door to Door’ collection of household
furniture such as suites, fridges and cookers. Many of these items
are either recycled or re-used
•
Subsidised compost bins - SDC has created
several outlets from which to purchase these bins at very affordable
prices
•
Collection system for DIY waste - chargeable
Recycling
of used ink cartridges and mobile phones is encouraged through partnerships
with other organisations and support of the 'Get It Sorted' campaign.
