Oxted South may have had it for well over a year, but now Tandridge's Weekly Recycling Services is to be rolled out to all households.
The change means another 19,000 households will start to get their recycling collected every week and be able to recycle plastic bottles. Residents in flats with communal recycling facilities and banks will continue with the current collection service.
Last year residents helped collect more recycling than ever before, increasing the amount of waste recycled to 29%. This included:
2,240 tonnes of glass.
6,660 tonnes of newspapers, other paper and card.
200 tonnes of food and drink cans.
50 tonnes of plastics drinks bottles - that’s around 1.5 million bottles.
All the materials are sent to companies in the UK for recycling.
Residents who want to order boxes and bags should contact Amenity Services on 01883 732988, via the 24 hour automated telephone information service on 08459 400 472, online at http://www.tandridge.gov.uk/ or by e-mail to amenityservices@tandridge.gov.uk.
This means that despite entering an economic downturn, Tandridge has been able to roll-out weekly recycling, alongside a weekly refuse collection to all residents.
