Garbage in, Garbage out.

I’m afraid that the calendar with regard to waste collection that you have all received with your Babergh Matters this week is incorrect. I am not entirely certain what is wrong with it, since the message, set out below, that Members have received from the relevant officer is not very clear to me, although it may make sense to you!

What is clear however is that we must all look out for ‘bin hangers’ on or around 15th December which will include a correct calendar.

The officer writes:

Please be advised that there are errors in the waste collection calendars that have recently been sent out in Babergh Matters. These include an additional digit in the contact telephone number, which means that a caller gets through to a fax line. Additionally, the recycling / residual collection weeks from first week in January are the wrong way round.

The correct number is 0845 606 6045

Because of the way that Christmas falls this year, we are having to move collection days FORWARD during the beginning of Christmas week. As this is so unusual and despite the fact that we have published details on the website and in Babergh Matters, we had always intended to reinforce the message by putting 'bin hangers' on bins week commencing 15th December advising next collection day. This will give us an opportunity to apologise to all customers and to include the correct calendar and contact number on the reverse side.’


You have been warned!
