Food Caddy Liner
Clarification on Garden Waste Charges
A number of people have recently contacted me to ask when charges for the collection of garden waste will come into effect and how much it will be. The charges and when they will be brought in have not yet been agreed. At this stage they are only proposals which have been set out in the new waste contract which will begin in August 2020 – when the current contract with Serco will come to an end. If charges are brought in for garden waste, they might not even start until 2021. The new contract is currently being reviewed by potential contactors and hasn’t yet gone through a formal tendering process. So, things could still change in the months ahead and I will continue to keep you updated as the new contract begin to take shape. For now, garden waste collections remain free of charge for at least another year.
Food caddy Liners
Free food caddy liners are currently being delivered to households across Derbyshire Dales. Residents who have subscribed to the District Council’s compostable sack scheme for garden waste will also receive a free roll of 42 compostable sacks. Properties that currently use black sacks for household waste can subscribe to the compostable sack scheme for garden waste online. Any household that has not received their caddy liners or compostable sacks by the end of May should contact the District Council no later than the end of June on 01629 761100.
As always, please get in touch with me if you have any issues with waste collection services or the delivery of your caddy liners and compostable sacks.
