HOMES in Wycombe district will receive a new-look, annual recycling calendar from today.
The colour-coded calendars are a move away from previous calendars, which were delivered about three times a year.
Homes will also get a recycling guide which Wycombe District Council says ‘how to best use each of the recycling services available’. About two-thirds of homes will also now have both their green and black boxes collected on the same day.
The council said this has become possible because a new contract will start on March 15 with waste firm Veolia Environmental Services Limited, including split compartment vehicles.
Cllr Audrey Jones, cabinet member for wellbeing and neighbourhoods, said: “These new-look, annual calendars will make it easier for our residents to identify which date to put their recycling out for collection.
“Our residents have a great track record in recycling their household waste and I'm delighted that these service improvements will go a long way towards making recycling even easier.”
