Residents in Highbridge are being reminded they may have an extra, one-off Saturday rubbish collection in February.
The extra collections for some households will ensure no-one goes more than three weeks between rubbish collections when a new set of routes and collection days start from 12 February.
Anyone unsure if they have one of these extra Saturday collections can use the online lookup feature: www.somerset.gov.uk/reroute. A PDF version of the updated service guide and collection calendar can also be downloaded.
Saturday 10 February – Highbridge
Residents are reminded to re-download their collection schedule to their smart phone or tablet from Monday 12 February.
There will be no changes to:
- collection days for garden waste subscribers
- clinical waste collections
- communal property collections with shared collections (such as blocks of flats, houses of multiple occupancy and retirement developments)
- schools waste collections
The changes will make rounds more efficient and manageable for crews, whilst reducing mileage and carbon emissions.
