Update on Green Waste Cleanup

SIRA continues to work for the most cost effective and environmentally effective solution to our green waste build up. At present we are seeking further advice on determining the best solutions.

THE ADVERTISED GREEN WASTE COLLECTION WILL NOT TAKE PLACE NEXT WEEK. PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR WASTE OUT FOR COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND.

To help us keep the cost down we need to know:

!. Your name and address if you require a collection

2. How much foliage you need to remove. Please can you estimate :
a)  the number of builders' bags you will require so we can work out a fair
and equitable charge.
b)  how many tied bundles up to 1.2 m in length and with branches no more
than 75mm thick you will require
3. If we are able to mulch close to your property would you like to
retrieve the mulch for use in your own garden?

We will contact you with a revised schedule.
