FCC Environment (South Hams recycling and waste contractor) has asked South Hams District Council to suspend all garden waste collections from Monday 16th August. Here’s a link to SHDC’s bulletin giving more details. There’s also a useful page of FAQs about this suspension.
The great majority of properties in Littlehempston also continue to be in the situation where food waste isn’t being collected and must instead be put in the black bin, and batteries and printer cartidges can’t be collected. You can read more about these temporary changes to the recycling system on SHDC’s Waste and Recycling Service Updates page which also has a link to a form where you can enter your postcode to check whether your property is affected by these changes.
