BMSDC intend to restart garden Waste collections in Laxfield from Monday 18th May.

Please also see info below:

  • Residents should double check their collection day and or area on our website first, and make sure their bin is out on the right day at 6:30am
  • Only the bin(s) should be put out for collection - residents should not overfill them and must be able to close the lid.
  • Any additional waste should be emptied into their bin(s) over several collections, or temporarily stored as we will only be collecting the bins.
  • We continue to encourage residents to keep composting, as well as reduce their waste to ease pressure on services. Composting offers can be found on the Suffolk Recycling website.
  • No residents will be out of pocket from the stoppage - no new invoices have been issued since the collections were forced to stop and subscriptions will be amended to reflect the missed collections with more details on our website.
  • To prioritise collections of missed garden waste bins, we are currently not accepting new subscriptions until further notice.
  • Residents should check for any unplanned delays on the councils website first, before reporting a missed bin or calling customer services, to help reduce pressure on services at this time.
