Recycling pick-ups switch to fortnightly
Recycling pick-ups have been switched from weekly to fortnightly, the Department of Waste management said today.
The new schedule started on August 1.
A spokeswoman said: "The Waste Management Department carries out monitoring of waste pick up including recycling and has found that in most cases, the bags containing recyclable materials were arriving and the Material Recovery Facility only half full.
"In an effort to be more cost effective, residential recycling pick up will now take place every two weeks. This move will decrease the cost of recycling significantly to less than half of its former cost."
For missed collections, people can call either the new recycling contractor, Butterfield Excavation Limited at 238-1066 or the Material Recovery Officer, Stephen Gilbert at 501-3024. Missed collections can also be e-mailed to recycle@gov.bm.
