Horsham Mobile Waste Service saved - update
Following the outcry against the proposed closure of this Service and the consequent setting up of a joint County, District & Parish Councillors Task Force to review the proposal, it has been agreed to continue the Service, with some minor changes, until March 2009.
The main changes are: - all metal items will now go into the caged unit for recycling, and hazardous waste such as TVs and computers will no longer be accepted.
From April 2009, a revised fortnightly mobile service will concentrate on green waste for recycling, co-ordinated with the roll out of the District Council’s new improved kerb-side collection arrangements. The mobile service for non-recyclable waste will also continue, but on a less frequent basis – possibly monthly.
This joint working by the local community has achieved success, and the County Council has pledged to keep us informed on the service in future.
