Don’t waste your last chance on bins
HAVE you signed up for the West Lancashire Borough Council chargeable garden waste collection service?
Residents are reminded to sign up and pay before May 15 to ensure no interruption to their service, with collections continuing every two weeks.
Charges for the garden waste collection service apply from June 5 and residents can choose if they wish to use the service.
It will cost £30 per year for one green bin to be emptied.
Householders can have additional green bins emptied at a cost of £25 per year for each additional bin.
Residents, who can buy bins from the council for £23 each, are urged to visit the council website to sign up and pay, as this is the quickest and most convenient way: www. westlancs.gov.uk/ gardenwaste.
Director of street scene services, Heidi McDougall, said: “There has been a good response from households wanting to sign up for the chargeable service and most have chosen to use the website. The website is available 24/7, and enables people to sign up and pay from the comfort of their home.”
Leaflets are being delivered to every household in the borough giving information about the changes.
Information is also provided at www. westlancs.gov.uk/ gardenwaste.
Residents who decide not to sign up and pay can dispose of garden waste at household waste recycling centres, or alternatively, compost it.
