Crunch Month - your mobile waste collection service
From Saturday 13 July, a mobile waste collection service will be coming to locations near you in each of the borough's five towns for a period of five weeks.
Every Saturday we will visit a new location in each town - 25 locations in total.
You will be able to dispose of any excess general waste in black sacks, as well as bulky waste items which normally require collection.
