Your say on Cornwall Council's future waste collection service (21 Mar 2011)



In December, Cornwall Council concluded the first stage of a public waste consultation. Following this, you now have an opportunity to help them design the rubbish and recycling service that you want. Cornwall Council is now asking the public to give their opinion on what the service could look like in the future.


A survey detailing two options has been included in this year’s Guide to Public Services which will be delivered to every household in Cornwall with the 2011/12 council tax bill. 




Option A – is to have household food waste and rubbish collected weekly and recycling and garden waste fortnightly.

Option B – is to have household food waste and recycling collected weekly and rubbish and garden waste fortnightly.

Cornwall Council want to make sure they consider the public views in designing the collection service and would like as many people as possible to participate in the survey. Paper responses can be posted to the freepost address printed on the survey, or dropped into any one stop shop or library. Further copies of the survey are available at one stop shops, libraries and main Council offices.

All responses must include a postcode otherwise the choice cannot be counted. The survey closes on 14 May 2011

If you have any queries about the survey, please have a look at the frequently asked questions to see if the answer is already there. If you do not find the answer you are looking for, please email councilcomms@cornwall.gov.uk  and Cornwall Council will endeavour respond to your enquiry as soon as possible.
