Newcastle Borough Council are currently running a ‘Satisfaction with Recycling Services’ survey on their website.
The recycling service collects materials weekly and in separate boxes in order to maximise both the amounts collected and the value of it. This income subsidises other services and protects budgets for other Council services.
Councils who collect recyclable materials in wheelie bins pay companies to take it away and find uses for it. Collecting separately means this council gets an income instead.
The service has experienced a number of problems recently in recovering from bad weather slowly and struggling when high volumes of material are put out by residents. The Council is looking for ways to improve the service and it would greatly value your feedback as it looks for ways to make the service more effective.
