Purple and clear sack scheme

Woman with clear and purple sacksThe 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.
