SHDC Refuse Collection UPDATE

Received from South Hams District Council 22nd September 2023

Around 8,000 homes in the South Hams are set to receive new recycling containers in the next five weeks, as South Hams District Council prepares to improve its recycling and food waste collection service.

From Monday (25 September), the District Council will be delivering the containers to the doorsteps and kerbsides of households who currently put out their recycling in blue and clear sacks.

Anyone who receives new containers should keep recycling as they already are (using their blue/clear sacks), until they hear from us on when to start using their new containers. Residents should find somewhere safe to keep their new containers until then.
