From January 2005 Canterbury City Council is making changes to the frequency of refuse collections. We are doing this because space in landfill sites is running out Canterbury's will be full by 2017 and we urgently need to find a solution to the problem of where our waste will go.
Households in the Canterbury district produce more than 62,000 tonnes of waste a year. Currently, around 27 per cent of that is recycled using the city council's clear sack scheme. While this is the highest in Kent, the council wants to be even better.
We believe that by introducing the new waste collection service many more have to start recycling and help us in our bid to be one of the best recycling councils in Britain.
We also have tough government targets to meet on recycling and could be in line for financial penalties if we fail to do so.
