Changes to bin collections in High Peak from October

Households across the High Peak will soon receive a letter from the Council providing details of the changes to waste and recycling collections which start later this month.

Alliance Environmental Services, the Council's waste collections partner, has revised the rounds to improve the efficiency of the service which may mean the day of your collection, and which bin you present, could be changing.

The changes will start from Monday 20 October and affect every household in the Borough.

The letters, which include specific details of the changes for each household, will be sent out this week. Envelopes will be marked 'important changes to bin collections' to help ensure people don't miss them.

Executive Councillor for Climate Change and Environment, Jean Todd, said: "It's important that you read the letter and keep hold of it as it includes a calendar setting out which bins we'll be collecting, and on which days, for the four weeks following the start of the changes.

"People should also ensure that they present their bins for collection by 6am on their collection day - the revisions may mean that the crews are at your property at a different time of day to that which you may have become used to, so please don't risk missing your collection.

"There's more information on our website and I'd ask everyone to help ensure these changes go smoothly by looking out for their letter and taking notice of what it says. Thank you in advance for your co-operation."
