Householders in selected areas of Carnoustie and Arbroath and nearby rural areas will next week see the first collections under Angus Council’s new kerbside recycling trial.
The trial involves around 5,000 homes and first collections for most of those taking part in the trial will begin next week, although there are some collections this week.
New bins have been delivered to those participating in the trial.
A smaller purple bin for general waste and a brown food waste bin have been supplied, as well as a kitchen caddy, also for food waste.
Residents are being asked to use their grey bin used for general waste for glass, plastic bottles, plastic containers, cans, paper and cardboard.
The green bin collection for garden waste will remain unchanged.
Angus Council convener of neighbourhood services Councillor Donald Morrison said: ”Residents should find it will be easier to recycle more items from home as well as assisting the council to meet its recycling targets.
”The trial will run for six to 12 months and, if it is successful, we plan to roll it out throughout Angus.”
Any householder in the trial who requires further information or assistance, should contact 08452 777 778 or visit angus.gov.uk/recycling.
