Late May and Jubilee bank holiday bin
collections - your bins will be emptied as normal on the
two special bank holidays, Monday 4 June and Tuesday 5 June.
Anyone organising a street party on the Monday or Tuesday should
ensure their wheeled bins are accessible to the collection crews
and call 01394 444000 and let Suffolk Coastal
Services know exactly when it is
happening. |
Your waste and recycling services
Households in the Suffolk Coastal district receive a
wheeled bin recycling and refuse collection
service, giving residents alternate fortnightly collections of
recyclable materials and household refuse that cannot be
recycled.
Homes in the district also have a
fortnightly brown bin collection service for
their garden and food waste.
Thanks to the willingness of residents to make use of their
recycling services, the overall average of household waste that is
being recycled rather than going into landfill is 59%, the seventh
highest in the country for 2010/11.
Suffolk Coastal's waste and recycling services are operated by
our partners, Suffolk Coastal Services Ltd (new window), a
subsidiary of Norse Commercial Services.
If you have any questions about your waste and recycling
services or if you would like any more information or advice,
please contact Suffolk Coastal Services on 01394
444000 or email
scsltd@suffolkcoastal.gov.uk.
