Just as the District's recycling is creeping upwards Dover District Council are planning to introduce Garden Waste Charges from April.
This is shorsighted as we can as a community use such waste to produce compost as DDC & KCC has been doing or produce in other green energy initiatives
From the DDC Website:
"New Garden Waste Collection Service
We are making changes to the way we collect garden waste.
In order to extend the service to all resident
we have decided to introduce a chargeable collection service
starting in April 2012.
Why are these changes being made?
The current garden waste service is only available to
approximately 72% of the district and we continue to get requests
from residents who wish to join the scheme but are unable to do
so.
When does the new service start?
The new service will start in April 2012. You will need to
subscribe to the service by April 2012 to continue to receive a
garden waste collection.
How do I subscribe to the new service?
We will be sending an information leaflet to every
resident at the beginning of March which will
explain how the new service works and how you can subscribe. We
will start taking payments for the new service in March.
How do I get more information on the new service?
We are in the process of finalising the details of the new
service. Full details of the service will be given in an
information leaflet, which will be sent to every property in the
district, in the beginning of March. Further
information will also be available on our website in the
end of February."
