Stockport Council is updating its recycling and refuse collection policy following the roll out of its new improved service.
From the Council:
The revised policy will be considered by the Council’s Environment and Economy Scrutiny Committee on 15th July.
By November 2010 the Council will have concluded the improvements to waste collection with the delivery of black wheelie bins for waste that can’t be recycled and the introduction of a weekly collection of food waste.
The new improved service has been designed to encourage and maximise the waste that residents recycle. As most household waste will be able to be recycled from November 2010 the new policy has been updated to reflect these improvements. The policy supports the service improvements by making it very clear that residents should be using the new services to their fullest. For further information please click here.

Hi
Will it be possible to arrange collection of peoples old dustbins as a lot of us have no way to transport them to the tip. I’m not sure if they can be recycled but there simply won’t be room for the old and the new.
Many thanks
Lorraine
Rubbish !
All these bins… all this madness.
A few councils deliver different bags for different wastes, this methinks be preferable… you simply put out the bag on the day of collection and hey-presto it be gone ! None of the rigmarole of wheeling out a cumbersome bin, waiting for the collection only to have to wheel it back in again. This bin nonsense be too much bother for many of us.
As long as the public recycling bins remain (church road car park, Gatley) they will be more convenient… you only use them at your own convenience.
Please, not another bin. Where are we meant to keep them all. You wheel these things out and put them neatly at your gate and then what happens, the bin men come along some hours later, empty them and then leave the empty bin in the road which means you have to go looking for it. Why can’t hey put it back where they found it, by the gate. The blue bags are not perfect but at least when you have put it out that is the end of the matter. All this recycling is getting out of hand.
Dave Cook, just read your comments and simply don`t get it. With recycle bins only being emptied once a fortnight where do you keep all these bags, in the kitchen or out in the garden for foxes to rummage through. And isn`t it much easier to bring in a bin after collection than take the recyclable items to a public recycling bank.
Ian, are they proposing a seperate bin and collection for food waste?
re: Franklin.
Public recycling bins be but a stones throw from our abode… one finds it very much easier to offload the cans, glass, paper etcetera as and when it be convenient for us to do so ( when shopping ). Also, being a small household we have little waste relative to others with kids particularly.
Wheelie bins are a pain… you take a chance if you leave them out overnight (vandals pass by all to often ) and if one puts them out at a time more convenient for ourselves (09.00) it may be too late. Then, having gone to the bother of wheeling them out, waiting, we have to wheel them back in again ! This be all too much effort / bovver ! One be considering creating another garden dump (compost heap if you prefer !) to save us the trouble… !
Answer to this menace ? Bags ! (as Corbett utters).
