Days left to sign up for controversial Shropshire Council garden waste service before collection ceases
Shropshire residents have just a few days left to sign up for the council's controversial garden waste collection service.The council's cabinet agreed in July to introduce the annual charge as well as keeping all five of the council's householdearlier this month. Subscribers will be sent a special sticker to attach to their garden bin that shows collection crews which bins to empty.
Shropshire Council's deputy Leader and Cabinet member with responsibility for waste management, Ian Nellins said earlier this month:"Garden waste collections will stop from October 1 for anyone that hasn't subscribed by this date, so I encourage anyone that wants to keep using the service to sign up as soon as possible.
"As we've said before, Shropshire Council is facing unprecedented financial pressure. We must make significant savings and our plans include difficult decisions. We must look at other ways of creating income so that we can protect essential frontline services for those residents most in need."In response to a resident online, Shropshire Council said there is"no evidence to suggest" that the county will see an increase in fly-tipping.
