Don’t forget to save your calendar somewhere safe, so that you know when your bin collections are due, and please remember to recycle as much waste as you can, to help the borough reach its target of recycling 50% of all waste by 2025.  By recycling our waste properly we can all help to reduce our impact on the environment.
