Green Waste Collections End For Winter Months
Residents who have opted into Reading Borough Council’s new green waste collection scheme are being reminded that final green collections take place on Friday December 21st as collections temporarily end for the winter.
Due to the popularity of the scheme and pressure brought by Lib Dem councillor Daisy Benson, this year Reading Borough Council has extended green waste collection well past mid-December.
Residents who are due a green waste collection in the week beginning Monday December 17 are being urged to make sure they put any green waste they have in their green bins or bags and they will be collected as usual.
The green waste collection service resumes on Monday January 21st.
The Council is also moving to reassure residents who may have concerns about rubbish building up over the Christmas period. Residents are being advised that for their first collection after Christmas, crews will be collecting any rubbish that is left in black sacks alongside their normal black bin.
