Wheelie bins are on their way in Wokingham
The council will begin distributing them this week
Wokingham borough council has taken delivery of more than 60,000 black wheeled rubbish bins, which they'll be issuing to households across the borough from Monday (20 May) onwards.
It's part of the upcoming changes to their waste collections, which will start on Monday, 12 August, and they expect to deliver to all properties by the end of July.
A spokesperson said:
"You shouldn’t use your new bin straight away, as we won’t empty it until collections change in the summer. For now, please keep putting out one blue rubbish bag a week.
"When your bin arrives, we strongly recommend marking it with your house number to ensure it is returned to you when the new collections begin.
"Each wheeled rubbish bin will come sealed with tape and will have a recyclable cardboard hanger reminding you not to use it yet. "
From mid-August, the council will empty the new black bin rubbish every two weeks and also collect recycling from the existing green bags every two weeks.
