Timely advice about waste collections

Calendars promoting the dates of waste and recycling collections for the next 12 months have been issued to residents in Denbighshire.

Every year the council issues an annual reminder of which dates the various collections will take place, including the all-important information for the Christmas and New Year period.

The booklet includes a quick guide to make sure residents are putting the right items into the correct container.

Also included is information about a brand new energy to waste facility that is opening in Flintshire this year, to deal with waste from five of the six North Wales counties.

There’s also a feature on disposing of waste through a contractor and steps residents should take to check the waste is heading to the correct destination.

Tony Ward, Denbighshire’s Head of Highways, Facilities and Environmental Services, said: “These guides are easy to use , they provide a lot of practical advice and information about all things waste and recycling and they are back by public demand.

“They provide a definitive guide on what kind of recycling or waste will be collected when and also provide details of when collections are happening in your area.  They also serve as a regular reminder to put the correct items out for collections at the right time."

* The information is also included on the council’s website: www.denbighshire.gov.uk/recycling  or if anyone requires a new calendar, they should contact the Council’s Customer Services team, on 01824 706000.
