Christmas Waste and Recycling Collections

South Cambs District Council will collect on Thursday 29th December and Thursday 5th January, 2 days later than usual due to the Christmas break

The collection due on Tuesday 10th January will be just one day late, being collected on Wednesday 11th January 2012

More than 750,000 tonnes of extra waste is produced ove Christmas in England alone.  We can all reduce our environmental impact over the festive period.  South Cambs have issued some suggestions for recycling:

Christmas cards can be placed in your blue bin, not in the caddy

Cans and foil should be rinsed and put into your blue bin

Real Christmas trees can be cut up and put into your green bin. You can also take your trees to your local household waste recycling centre for composting

Wrapping paper can be put into your blue bin as long as it is made from paper and not plastic or foil.  Wrapping paper is not good enough quality for the paper caddy.  Wrapping paper made from plastic or foil should be placed in the black bin

Parish Council Grouping Order Request Agreed by SCDC

South Cambridgeshire District Council met on Thursday 24th November to consider the request from the Histon and Impington Parish Meetings, held on 14th  October, to combine the Parish Councils into a Common Council in 2012.

They RESOLVED:

(a) the making of a Grouping Order to group the Parish Councils of Histon and Impington; and

(b) to delegate to the Chairman of the Electoral Arrangements Committee, in consutlation with officers and the two parish councils, to finalise the wording of the Grouping Order

There is a lot of work to be done yet, but it is hoped the actual grouping of the Councils will co-incide with the normal end of year for Council business in April/May 2012

The Parish Councils wish to thank everyone who took time to give valued input to the process
