Somerset Council have announced that recycling and rubbish collection days will be changing for more than 120,000 homes in Somerset in February next year. The changes come as new collection routes are introduced by Somerset Council\u2019s contractor, SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK. The new routes will make rounds more efficient, more manageable for crews whilst reducing mileage and carbon emissions. The changes come at no cost to the council.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In February 2024, recycling and rubbish collection day schedules will change for around 85% of homes in the west of the county, covering the former Sedgemoor and Somerset West and Taunton areas, as well as a small part of South Somerset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone with a change to their collection day schedule will be written to twice before anything changes, first with a letter in January. Roughly, three weeks after the letter arrives, residents will receive a service guide which includes a collection day calendar for the next 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important that residents know their new collection days \u2013 crews will not be able to come back for either recycling or refuse if you miss your new collection day. Because some towns and villages will be covered by more than one route, days may change for some households but not others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
