People in Central Bedfordshire will have their recycling waste collected next week after the council found a new contractor.
Recycling waste collection was paused at the weekend when the council’s former contractor had tried to double the price of its service, following a fire at its treatment centre.
In a statement released this afternoon (Thursday), the council said: “We’re pleased to confirm that dry recycling collections will resume on Monday 15 December following the appointment of a new contractor.
“For residents who didn’t have their recycling collected last week, we have updated our website about your next collection – because of Christmas, collection dates have changed, so please check to make sure you don’t miss your next collection.
“Thank you for your patience while we resolved this situation.”
