Residents are being encouraged to find out more about the new waste and recycling upgrade being rolled out across East Cambridgeshire.
Drop-in sessions will be taking place throughout the district to update people on the new service which starts from 1 June.
Residents will be able to see the new free of charge bins they will receive and ask questions about changes that are being brought in to help people reduce waste and recycle more.
The waste and recycling team will be at the following locations:
- Wednesday 4 March, Sutton Co-op, 10am to 1pm
- Thursday 5 March, Market Stall, Ely, 9am to 3pm
- Thursday 19 March, Isleham Society at The Beeches, 7pm for 7:30pm
- Thursday 26 March, Soham Warm Hub, Soham Town Rangers, 10am to 12noon
- Saturday 2 May, Ely Eel Day, all day
Cllr Anna Bailey, Leader of East Cambridgeshire District Council, said: “There is not long to go now before the new bins start arriving. We want to make sure everyone has had an opportunity to find out more about the service upgrade and ask questions.
“Our team can answer queries about why the changes are coming in, what they mean for you, and what happens to food waste when it gets recycled.”
To support the waste and recycling upgrade the council is also including information for residents with its annual council tax bill and putting messages out on social media.
When the new containers start to arrive at people’s home from 16 March, a full information pack will be attached. This includes a guide to what goes where and their collection calendar.
People can also visit the council’s website or speak to a customer services advisor on 01353 665555.
