IT'S TIME for a last garden tidy - Copeland Council's green waste collection service concludes for the year on Friday November 15.
The collections will restart on March 16 2020.
Coun Steven Morgan, portfolio holder for Waste, said: "A couple of years ago we moved the garden waste collections further into autumn, after residents told us they needed to collect leaves and clippings until November.
"This has been well-received and people can plan a final cut or tidy now before the collections conclude for the year on November 15."

FOLLOWING a successful shift in the way residents recycle, Copeland Council will reduce the number of small recycling sites it operates by the end of November.
The council has invested more than half-a-million-pounds in its kerbside recycling service over the past 18 months, which has resulted in collection rates more than doubling.
The significant investment and high level of take-up of the new service means that fewer recycling sites are now required and 15 small sites will be withdrawn.

COPELAND’S Mayor has written to the borough's supermarkets to seek assurances over their environmental commitments.
Mike Starkie has sent letters to the managers of Copeland’s nine largest supermarkets to ask what measures they are taking – or plan to take – towards protecting the local environment.
Mr Starkie’s letter comes as Copeland Council revises its own Environmental Policy and has been sent to Tesco, Morrisons, Aldi, Asda and Iceland in Whitehaven; Co-op in Egremont; Co-op in Cleator Moor; and Tesco and Co-op in Millom.
