The first three-weekly waste collections will take place from next week for households whose last waste collection took place during the week beginning November 2.
Food waste and recycling collections will continue to be collected every week and the collection day will not change.
Cabinet member for Environment and Sustainability, Councillor John Powell said: “Residents are being urged to recycle as much of their waste as possible to help minimise the amount being sent to landfill. With residents support we can meet both our recycling and budget targets.
“Households with six or more people living in the property, two or more children in nappies, producing incontinence waste or non-infectious clinical waste such as colostomy bags may be eligible for additional capacity. This can be requested by contacting the council and an assessment will be arranged. If residents find that they are over filling their recycling boxes each week, additional recycling boxes can also be requested by contacting the council on 0845 602 7035 or visiting the website.”
