Allerdale residents now have another opportunity to request a replacement 180 litre waste bin.
Cumberland Council is continuing to deliver replacement 180 litre bins after the first application period which resulted in 10,500 requests.
They are advising residents that don’t get their new bin over the next few weeks to carry on using their existing bin and to recycle as much as they can.
If they can’t fit all their waste into their existing 120 litre bin, they can put out up to two bags of excess waste.
If they provided an email address when requesting a replacement bin, they will be contacted a day or a few days before the delivery.
New requests for replacement bins can be made up until Thursday 31 July. Residents can access an online request form at www.cumberland.gov.uk/wastechanges
Householders may also be eligible for an even larger or extra bin if they have a large household, young children in nappies or your household produces extra waste due to medical needs. Apply at www.cumberland.gov.uk/waste/largerbin
Changes to fortnightly waste collections in the former Allerdale area are now underway and residents are being urged to check their collection dates at www.cumberland.gov.uk/waste/binday
Cumberland householders can now download, bookmark and print the next few months of waste and recycling collection information.
