An idea to change how kerbside waste and recycling is collected from 2020 has been put forward by Cornwall councillors at a meeting of the Neighbourhoods Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

The committee supported a key recommendation for recycling to be collected every week from 2020.

It is recommended that residents be provided with new kitchen and kerbside containers for food waste which would also be collected weekly.

It is proposed that all other waste that can’t be recycled would be collected every fortnight. 

The recommendations will be considered at the next Cabinet meeting on November 15 with a final decision expected in February 2018.
