Purple and clear sack scheme
The purple sack pilot started in November 2007 in both
Goffs Oak and Rye Park areas. The clear sacks were introduced in
December 2007. The joint sacks scheme has started to be
rolled out across the Borough. The roll out started for
residents with a Thursday and Friday collection on the 15 and
16 May respectively, and will continue for other
rounds throughout 2008 into 2009.
Purple sacks have been supplied for refuse, and clear sacks for
kerbside plastic bottle recycling. The scheme encourages residents
to reduce their waste to one sack per week by reducing, reusing and
recycling.
