Full Council agenda June 26th 2018
Community Office now open on Saturdays for the summer
In response to demand (particularly from local businesses) the Council has opened the Community Office on Saturdays for the summer months (June, July and August). It will be open from 9.30 to 12.30 every Saturday.
The office will continue to be open as usual Monday to Friday 9.30 to 12.30.
Recycling centres now take more plastic packaging
All 16 Somerset recycling sites can now take rigid plastic food and other household pots, tubs and trays (PTT) in the skips also used for plastic bottles.
Plastic bottles remain the only plastic Somerset Waste Partnership can accept at the kerbside, so please do not add PTT to kerbside recycling boxes.
It is planned to add new materials, such as PTT, beverage cartons (tetrapaks), batteries and small electrical items to the kerbside collections, as the “Recycle More” service rolls out from 2020. Somerset Waste Partnership are procuring a new contractor, new vehicles and improved depots to enable this.
Suitable for recycling at all recycling centres:
- Plastic pots for yoghurt, soup, face cream, hair gel
- Plastic tubs for margarine, ice cream, laundry tabs
- Plastic trays (including black plastic) for meat, ready meals, and plastic punnets for fruit and mushrooms
Please remove all foil, film covers, absorbent pads and card. Rinse out any contents and squash items to fit more in the skips. Not suitable for recycling are plastic films, such as cling film, bubble wrap, carrier bags and film covers; plastic paint pots, plant pots or seed trays; or other plastics, such as toys, garden furniture, car parts, CDs, DVDs, VHS cases or tapes.
