The end of the green bins

The next collection of green bins in the Audlem area will be the last. After this all recycling material will go into the grey bins, including newspapers, bottles and silver paper.

The only items (apart from non-recyclable household waste and garden waste) which must not go into the grey bins will be polystyrene material and plastic plant pots.

The date of this last collection has been a bit difficult to pin down exactly – we have established that the final green bin collection for Cheshire Street, Stafford Street, Shropshire Street, Heathfield Road, Heywoods Ridge and Daisy Bank Crescent (and by implication the whole of the centre of Audlem) will be on Thursday April 14th.

Apparently the Paddock Lane, Kettle Lane and Bagley Lane area will be collected on Thursday April 7th, whereas the Cox Bank area will be Wednesday April 13th.

When the final collection is made, another lorry will follow on behind collecting the actual green bin itself.

If in doubt, the phone number to check the last collection day applicable to your specific postcode is 0300 123 55 00 (which is where we got all the above information).
