The much discussed and controversial blue bins
The way in which rubbish and recycling is collected in Tamworth is to change later this year, making the lifes of Tamworth residents that little bit simpler when it comes to bin day.
As part of the new scheme being introduced, the controversial blue bins will be phased out, being replaced by a single blue bin for all recycling, with the sorting being carried out at the recycling depot. As well as the new blue bin, waste collection will also return to being a weekly collection, reducing the problems with maggots and smelly bins that has been common during the summer months.
“We are pleased to be able to tell everyone that the current unsatisfactory bin scheme is going to be binned,” said council leader, Cllr Jeremy Oates. “We will introduce the single bin and weekly collections in a phased manner so we spot glitches in the system and solve them quickly. We want a smooth transition this time.”
Details at this time aren’t available as the roll out of the new scheme, but be sure to check back at Tamworth Blog for updates.
