New fortnightly kerbside recycling and rubbish collection starts April

 

A new fortnightly recycling and rubbish collection for the Clutha District starts in April, with new recycling wheelie bins being delivered from next week.

 

Manager District Assets Jules Witt said that from April 2012, Clutha District Council wheelie bin customers will put out their existing green wheelie bin for household waste one week, and their new yellow-lidded wheelie bin for recyclables the next.

 

Mr Witt said the new yellow-lidded recycling wheelie bins will be delivered progressively throughout February to all existing Clutha District Council wheelie bin customers. “But wait until your normal collection day in the week starting 9 April before putting it out for collection.”

 

A brochure explaining exactly what can and can’t be recycled, as well as a calendar outlining which bin will be collected each week, will be included with the new bins when they are dropped off to customers.

 

It is expected that all the new yellow-lidded recycling wheelie bins will be delivered by 5 March. Any existing wheelie bin customers who haven’t received a new bin by then should contact Council.

 

Other key points about the new kerbside recycling and rubbish collection service:

 

  • Yellow-lidded recycling wheelie bins will be collected each fortnight on your normal collection day starting the week of 9 April.

 

  • Your green wheelie bin will continue to be used for general waste only. From the week starting 2 April, green wheelie bins will be collected fortnightly on your normal collection day.

 

  • Glass will be excluded from the recycling collection because of the significant costs involved in sorting and collecting this material.

 

  • The kerbside recycling service is being rolled out at no extra cost to ratepayers. The ‘Recycling Collection’ charge on your rates bill will not be levied separately next financial year.

 

The new kerbside collection service is being operated by Delta, which will provide Council’s solid waste management services from 2 April.
