Mid Devon District Council are proposing to make some changes to the waste and recycling service from October 2015. The changes set out below are at the moment only proposals and they have not yet been approved by the MDDC Cabinet or the full MDDC Council.

We have attached a short 5 minute survey. The results of the survey will be analysed by Sustainable Crediton Waste Action Group and the results fed back to the MDDC Head of Environmental Services.

The main proposals are:

• Provide free and limitless boxes for recycling, including one additional per property of a different colour to permit greater separation
• Remove card from garden waste and collect in black boxes as kerbside recycling
• Remove food from garden waste and collect in a caddy as kerbside recycling
• Collect mixed plastics, excluding film, as kerbside recycling
• Collect household refuse and recycling fortnightly from each premises
• Retain the garden waste (which now excludes card and food) as a fortnightly, chargeable service
• Re-use the brown wheeled bins for residual waste containers

The proposed charge for the collection of garden waste each fortnight is £50.

Please complete the survey and let us know what you think about the changes.
