ABOUT REFUSE & RECYCLING - TEMPORARY CHANGES IN COLLECTION DATES - JANUARY 2010Local News

REFUSE, RECYCLING and BROWN BIN COLLECTIONS .
I'm pleased to report that our refuse and recycling services are all working
normally today. This includes the extra refuse collection crews that we have put out
today to pick up from those properties that did not have a refuse collection on New
Year's Day and last Friday.
There may be a small number of estate roads where road conditions are still too icy
to drive or walk safely. If this proves to be the case, I will update you on their
locations later today.

EDDC - FRIDAY , 8 JANUARY 2010.
REFUSE, RECYCLING and BROWN BIN COLLECTIONS .
I regret to inform you that the estate roads and footways are too dangerous for us
to carry out refuse, recycling or brown bin collections today.
We will, however, be carrying out refuse and recycling collections today from
Wimborne town centre as the roads there are safe and most footways are clear.
To avoid missing three Friday collections (having not collected on Christmas Day or
New Year's Day) we plan to carry out refuse collections on Monday 11th from those
properties that don't receive their collection today, but only if the road and
footway conditions have improved by Monday.
Unfortunately this will mean that the Christmas tree collections that we had
scheduled to carry out on Monday 11th in the Ferndown, Colehill, Wimborne and Corfe
Mullen areas will now be delayed to Monday 18th.
We will publicise all this information on dorsetforyou.com and set up a recorded
message on our telephone system.
Residents may choose to take excess recycling to one of our recycling centres and
take their refuse to the Brook Road or Somerley household recycling centre. Residents
with permits in Corfe Mullen can take their refuse to the Nuffield HRC and residents
with permits in the Ferndown/West Parley/West Moors/3LX areas to the Milhams HRC.
The only positive side to the cold conditions is that there shouldn't be too many
odours from the waste that residents are having to store on their property.
I apologise for the inconvenience that this will cause and hope that conditions will
improve next week.

EDDC - THURSDAY, 7 JANUARY 2010.
REFUSE, RECYCLING and BROWN BIN COLLECTIONS .
We will not be carrying out any refuse, recycling or brown bin collections today.
Although the main roads in the District are clear, the side roads are too icy to
safely drive our collection vehicles and the footways are too icy to safely carry
bags and boxes.
Material that is not collected today will be picked up on the next scheduled
collection day.
Unfortunately the weather forecast does not look good for tomorrow. If there are no
collections tomorrow and as there were no collections on the last 2 Fridays
(Christmas Day and New Year's Day), those residents who did not put out their black
sacks on Sunday 27th December (when we carried out a special collection) will not
have had their waste collected since 18th December.
I regret that we will not be able to carry out any extra collections to replace
those missed this week.
