Elton - Recycling

The village has a periodic green waste skip to help keep the village tidy this will stay by the old layby at the top of the village until after Christmas to allow for Christmas trees to be recycled.

Anyone needing an extra wheelie bin on a regular basis can ask the Hunts DC for an extra one which will be provided and emptied with the regular one at no extra charge on the normal fortnightly collection. Ian Kirk monitors the skip on behalf of the village and anyone who sees anyone using this who is not from the village please get details and tell Ian. The skip costs the village money and so if it is filled by people from outside the village then we all have to pick up the bill through our council tax village precept.

The recycled garden refuse is distributed free of charge to all HDC residents via their depot near the Brampton hut roundabout on the A1 /A14 junction. This year the Parish Council requested that a pallet load of bags was delivered to Elton to make it easier for residents to benefit from the distribution. It is anticipated that this will become a regular occurance.

 

The village bottle bank is located in the Crown Car park. The revenue from this goes directly back to the Parish via the Parish Council and helps keep the rates/ Council tax for residents down. The Crown Request that it is not used before 9.30 am
