Weekly Recycling for Goldsmid Ward (March 2007)

By Melanie Davis

Weekly recycling collections are being extended to 13,000 more homes across Brighton & Hove including large parts of Goldsmid Ward, after efforts by local Labour Councillors to boost recycling.

Households in 220 more streets will have their kerbside recycling collected weekly instead of fortnightly.

At present most homes receive a fortnightly collection service. The switch to a weekly collection will make it easier for people remember when to put their recycling box out and is part of our ongoing work to encourage recycling.

Residents affected will receive a letter about the new weekly service.

If re-elected on 3 May, Labour in Goldsmid will contine to campaign for weekly recycling throughout the ward and for better services those who live in flats.

Paper, cans, glass, cardboard, plastic bottles and household batteries can all be recycled through the kerbside collection service.
