THE deadline to sign up for green waste collections in north Wiltshire is approaching and Wiltshire Council is urging people to sign up before it is too late.
More than 37,000 Wiltshire households have so far signed up to pay for garden waste collections. Residents are encouraged to sign up before May 17 to ensure they receive the service from 15 June.
Charges are £40 per year for the fortnightly-collection. That is equivalent to paying about 77p per week.
Toby Sturgis, cabinet member with responsibility for strategic planning, property, waste and strategic housing, said: “Households across the county are signing up for the new service as the deadline approaches at the rate of around 1,000 per day.
“I would encourage anyone who is intending to sign-up to do so as soon as possible in order to avoid any break in the service during the summer months when gardeners are most likely to need their garden waste collections.”
