AS Recycle More gets ready to launch in South Somerset, residents are being urged not to stockpile. The scheme, which launches at the end of June, means residents can now recycle plastic pots, tubs and trays, as well as cartons, small household electricals and batteries. However, Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) are asking people not to stockpile ready for the new collections. This is because extra loads will make the first new collections harder for crews and vehicles. Mickey Green, SWP managing director, said: “We want the new service to get off to a flying start and that will be easier if the first collections are not inundated.

GARDEN waste customers are running out of time to renew their subscriptions. Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) are reminding customers they have until May 7 to sign-up again to have their garden waste collected. Reminder letters and emails were sent to all 50,000 green-fingered subscribers last month, said a spokesperson for SWP. Due to the Covid disruption to garden waste collections last year, current subscriptions were extended. Renewed and new subscriptions will run for 12 months from May 10 this year. This year, the garden waste service is removing the need for stickers on bin lids. Crews will be using in-cab technology to know who has subscribed and who needs a collection.
