Ribble Valley Borough Council

Green Bin Replacement Scheme

Form progress: 0%

progress 0%

Ribble Valley Borough Council is committed to providing residents with a weekly collection service for general / residual waste. As such we have been awarded £750,000 funding by Government to not just retain this service but to improve the level of recycling services by introducing the recovery of certain uncooked food waste for composting.

It is our intention to exchange the 140 litre wheeled bins provided to gardened properties for the recovery of garden waste with a larger 240 litre wheeled bin, to allow householders to include certain types of compostable food waste with their garden waste.

The collected and cleaned 140 litre green wheeled bins will be re-distributed to non-gardened properties to recover their food waste.

Residents are asked to support this scheme wherever practical as this scheme does have both environmental and financial benefits for us all.

Residents who either do not require a larger green wheeled bin or residents who do not wish to be provided with a wheeled bin for their food waste must "Opt Out" by completing this form or by telephoning the Council directly on telephone number 01200 425111
