Sacks delivered for kerbside plastic recycling launch

SPECIAL white sacks have been delivered to households in the Cotswolds ahead of the launch of a new kerbside collection.

The new kerbside plastic recycling service begins in the North Cotswolds on Monday, October 8.

Cotswold District Council is eager to know whether any residents requiring the recycling sacks have been missed or have experienced any other problems with the distribution of sacks.

Councillor David Fowles, Portfolio holder for the Environment, said: “I am confident that most residents who require a white recycling sack will have received one by now or will do in the next day or so.

“So far I am only aware of a couple of issues with the distribution of the sacks and consider that overall the delivery has gone very well.

“However, I am realistic that when rolling out a new service across such a large area there may be some isolated problems.”

If you have not received a sack call the council on 01285 623123.
