Green waste collections are back!

6:07pm Saturday 16th February 2008 in Local

DUDLEY borough residents are being reminded green waste collections resume on March 17 following the winter break.

Residents already in the scheme will shortly be receiving new calendars which will include details and dates of their fortnightly collections.

By the end of March, all borough residents will be able to receive collections as the council completes its distribution of green bins.

Gardeners can put out weeds, hedge and grass clippings, cut flowers, twigs, small branches, leaves, shrubs and compost for collection.

However food waste, plastic, fencing, animal waste, rubble and other general rubbish must not be put out for collection.

Residents are also reminded to put their wheelie bins out on the pavement by 7.30am on the day of collection. Lids must be down and handles should be facing the road.
