Wokingham Borough waste and recycling drop-in sessions

Wokingham Borough Coucil is hosting waste and recycling drop-in sessions in September.

Following the introduction of the new waste and recycling service in April, the sessions are designed so local residents can ask questions about it, find out more about its recent successes as well as top tips on reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill including home composting.

Advice and help will also be available on what can and can’t be recycled on the council’s kerbside recycling scheme. Visitors to the drop-in session will have the chance to complete the council’s survey on the new scheme.

The drop-in sessions take place between September 8 and 15 at:

Woodley Library, Headley Road, Woodley RG5 4JA, on Saturday September 8 between 10am and 2pm

Lower Earley Library, Chalfont Close, Chalfont Way, Lower Earley RG6 5HZ, on Tuesday September 11 between 4pm and 7pm

Charvil Village Hall, Park Lane, Charvil RG10 9TR on Wednesday September 12 between 4pm and 6.45pm

Shinfield Hall, School Green, Shinfield RG2 9EH, on Thursday September 13 between 10am and 2pm

Finchampstead Library, FBCentre, Gorse Ride North, Finchampstead RG40 4ES, on Thursday September 13 between 4pm and 7pm Shute End, Wokingham RG40 1WL, on Friday September 14 between 10am and 2pm

Wokingham Library, Denmark Street, Wokingham RG40 2BB on Saturday September 15 between -10am and 2pm.

Last week (August 21), the council launched a survey to find out what local residents think about the new service. The survey asks about the blue waste sacks including suitability, the kerbside recycling scheme including what can and can’t be recycled, the recycling rewards scheme and the opt-in garden waste scheme.

Members of the public have until Friday September 14 to completethe survey. It can be accessed on the borough council’s website at: www.wokingham.gov.uk/council/consultations/wasteservices
