Residents from the Allerdale and Copeland areas are being urged to check their updated waste and recycling calendars.
Cumberland Council has made some changes to waste and recycling collection dates for some households in Allerdale and the majority of households in Copeland. These will start from week commencing Monday 29 September.
Residents are advised to check the updated calendars at www.cumberland.gov.uk/waste/binday
All affected households will also receive a letter from the council explaining any changes to collection days.
Around 6,000 households in Cumberland will also soon benefit from an improved kerbside recycling service.
Cumberland Council has written to households in the former Allerdale and Copeland areas to update them on the expansion of the council’s kerbside service.
Some rural households will have recycling collected for the first time, and some will have their service expanded to the whole list of recyclables, including TetraPak, plastics, tin, cans, glass, cardboard and paper.
Recycling bins will be delivered to households from September onwards.
Residents are advised to only place recycling in the bins provided.
The expansion of the kerbside scheme is part of the council’s plans to provide a more efficient and improved service.
