Refuse and recycling update

(Date of issue: Monday, 11 January 2010)

Refuse and recycling collections have started up again in Carlisle today (Monday, 11 January).

Services are as follows:

Refuse:

We will aim to collect any refuse not collected late last week, today (Monday, 11 January) and tomorrow (Tuesday, 12 January).

We are still finding it difficult to access some remote rural properties, however we will try and make collections as soon as conditions allow.

All other householders are asked to leave their refuse bins out for collection on their normal collection date.

Recycling:

Please leave your recycling out on your normal collection day. If your recycling is not collected on the specified day then please put it out on your next scheduled collection day (check your recycling calendar for details). Any extra recycling should be bagged and put out for collection by the appropriate container.

The collection of garden waste has been suspended and will resume again in February, weather permitting. This is to concentrate efforts on collecting refuse as quickly as possible. Residents are advised to check their recycling calendars and put their green waste bin out for collection from their next February collection date.
