There is a new opportunity to help the local authority decide upon the frequency of collections for waste and recyclables in Cornwall.

Cornwall Council were unable to make a definite decision last year following the results from the waste survey, this has now resulted in an additional follow up consultation on their website.

It’s a very simple exercise, you either opt for option A or B:-

A: We will collect your household food waste and rubbish weekly and your recycling and garden waste fortnightly

B: The Council will collect your household food waste and recycling weekly and your rubbish and garden waste fortnightly.

Cornwall Waste Action, only endorse option B as it is the only sustainable option, as we need to maximise recycling and reduce landfill.  Option B is clearly the right solution on both environmental and economical grounds, therefore we would encourage residents of Cornwall to take part in this further consultation and vote for option B.

For further information and to vote go to Cornwall Council
