Same day Waste Collections
Bath and North East Somerset Council is changing the waste collection day for households throughout the district from 8th June 2009. Households will put out refuse, the green recycling box, and cardboard and garden waste on the same day – although the composting service will remain fortnightly. To increase awareness about the change, the Council has launched a webpage – www.bathnes.gov.uk/wastedaychange - dedicated to explaining the change, which also contains a number of Frequently Asked Questions. BANES have also announced that two weeks before the start date a notice will be sent to every household to let residents know their new day.
