There will be a charge of £6 (including VAT) per car or domestic type trailer for non-recyclable or unsorted waste. If you sort and recycle your waste it won't cost to dispose of it. The following text has been taken from the leaflet distributed by Bolton Brothers ........ When budget cuts meant the council-run Brome household waste recycling centre was threatened with closure, the community rallied round to keep a service running.
Nobody wanted the site to close, but Suffolk County Council simply couldn't afford to keep all 18 of its sites open.
People said they would rather pay, than lose the service, but legally this was not an option open to the council.
However, others can charge, so Eye Town Council and Brome & Oakley Parish Council have worked with local firm Bolton Brothers Recycling & Waste Management to start a new scheme, offering free disposal of most items, but with a new charge for anything going to landfill.
This will encourage people to really think about what they throw away and recycle as much as possible.
Suffolk is already one of the top recycling areas in the country, with over half our household waste recycled. The aim is to get to 60% by 2015. We hope you will continue to help us achieve that abitious target. Phone 01473 830 948 http://www.boltonbros.co.uk/ for information on recycling visit www.suffolkrecycling.org.uk
