Copeland’s recycling moves from boxes to bins
Published: 14/03/2022
IMPROVEMENTS to our recycling collection services will begin in October. Instead of having three boxes and a bag, residents will have two wheeled bins with different coloured lids.
The new bins will be delivered from October to December this year, and people can start using them as soon as they are received. We will write to property owners with a delivery timeframe.
More about the new service will be communicated through a series of road shows taking place throughout the borough from April until July.
