Christmas Waste and Recycling Collections

South Cambs District Council will collect on Thursday 29th December and Thursday 5th January, 2 days later than usual due to the Christmas break

The collection due on Tuesday 10th January will be just one day late, being collected on Wednesday 11th January 2012

More than 750,000 tonnes of extra waste is produced ove Christmas in England alone.  We can all reduce our environmental impact over the festive period.  South Cambs have issued some suggestions for recycling:

Christmas cards can be placed in your blue bin, not in the caddy

Cans and foil should be rinsed and put into your blue bin

Real Christmas trees can be cut up and put into your green bin. You can also take your trees to your local household waste recycling centre for composting

Wrapping paper can be put into your blue bin as long as it is made from paper and not plastic or foil.  Wrapping paper is not good enough quality for the paper caddy.  Wrapping paper made from plastic or foil should be placed in the black bin

(b) to delegate to the Chairman of the Electoral Arrangements Committee, in consutlation with officers and the two parish councils, to finalise the wording of the Grouping Order

Make Sure Your Vote is Safe

Secure your vote next year by returning your electoral registration form by 30 November - that's the message for South Cambridgeshire residents.

A huge 96.32% of households in the district have returned their form, but the small number that haven't need to reply by Wednesday 30 November, or they may not be able to vote in next year's local elections.

South Cambridgeshire District Council has sent two reminders to each home that has not registered. Council representatives have also been out in the district, visiting households to encourage people to complete and sign the paperwork.

If details haven't changed, forms can be confirmed quickly and easily using a freephone number, internet or text messaging service - details are on the form. These options close on Friday 25 November, but posted forms will still be accepted up until next Wednesday.

Jean Hunter, South Cambridgeshire District Council chief executive and electoral registration officer, said:

"Our return rate this year is already higher than last year's total, but just over 2,000 households still haven't sent back their form. We don't want anyone to lose their voice at election time, so secure your vote by returning your form."
