Household Collection Revision

The organisation of household collections for both recycling and refuse is being reviewed and changed during 2010 as part of the introduction of the new 'Sort It Plus' scheme. A number of areas will experience changes to their collection days as the new service is introduced.

Recycling and food waste will be collected on a weekly basis, whilst general refuse will be collected once per fortnight, normally in a wheeled bin provided by the Council. Further information is provided below under 'Sort It Plus Recycling Collections'.

To find out about the collection day for your area, please contact Sedgemoor District Council Customer Services on the above telephone number.  Collection calenders detailing collection dates can be sent out on request.

This page will be updated as soon as the new collection arrangements have been finalised.
