Consultation has concluded
Maidstone Borough Council’s Environmental Services team wants to hear from you!
Just before Christmas unsafe conditions caused by snow and ice disrupted all our collection services. Depending on the collection cycle for your property, this may have delayed either your recycling (green bin) or refuse (black bin) collection and unfortunately there were thousands of bins not collected that week.
Our aim was to catch up as much as possible the following week and to enable this to take place all garden services were suspended and additional temporary crews were employed.
During the following week we completed the normal collection service and all the spare resources were tasked to recover as many of the missed recycling bins as possible, leaving any missed black bins to the next week.
This is an opportunity for you to tell us should services be disrupted in the future, how would like us to recover.
How Can you Get involved?
Quick Poll - Take part in the quick poll to tell us which option you would like us to take in the future should waste collection be disrupted.
Poll closes: 5 March 2023.
What happens next?
Should severe weather disrupt collection services, it will take time to recover and there will be a brief period where full service cannot be provided. Your response to this poll will provide us with a guide as to the services that you would prefer to be prioritised during the recovery period.
