Alternate weekly collection service for tenements in Milton, Dumbarton, Vale of Leven and Balloch was introduced in September 2014 and has been working well, with less waste being sent to landfill and more resources being recycled.
From week commencing Monday 2 February 2015, residual grey/green bin collection will move to a fortnightly collection.
Residents will still receive a blue bag collection for dry recyclates (paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, plastic trays, plastic pots, tins and cans) and a white bag collection for glass bottles and jars from Greenlight in the weeks in between. Residents will also still receive a communal brown food waste bin collection weekly.
All flats should have blue bags, a white bag, a kitchen caddy and a supply of food waste bags for kitchen caddies.
If your property does not have any of these items they can be requested through the Wasteaware helpline on 0845 111 0050, through the Wasteaware e-mail address on wasteaware@west-dunbarton.gov.uk .
An additional two blue wheelie bins to be placed in the back court/garden area of the tenement block for communal use can be requested as detailed above.
We trust that you will support us in our efforts to divert as much waste as possible from landfill. If you have any questions regarding the new collection service please visit our website www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk or contact us on 0845 111 0050 or wasteaware@west-dunbarton.gov.uk.
