Following on from the success of previous years, The BIG Ashfield Spring Clean is again coming to Ashfield.
Residents are invited to dispose of an extra bag of household waste and take advantage of flying skips across the district. Rolling out in Kirkby, Annesley, Underwood, Selston and Jacksdale from 19th March, the BIG Spring Clean will run over three weeks – with Hucknall running from 26th March and Sutton and Huthwaite from 2nd April.
A bag of extra waste can be bagged and put out with your regular bin collection during the relevant week.
Coun Jason Zadrozny, leader of Ashfield District Council, said: “Following the success of the last four years, we are proud to once our even BIGGER Spring Clean this year. The Spring Clean will give residents the opportunity to get rid of extra waste by leaving out an extra bag of waste with your bin collection, or by taking advantage of one of the many flying skips across the district. If you can get your waste to us, we’ll collect it.”
The council is also changing the way it offers free bulky waste collections. It is now offering one free bulky waste collection of up to three items for all residents, with the opportunity to use the service throughout the year.
Coun Samantha Deakin, portfolio holder for Parks, Town Centres and Neighbourhood Services, said: “Rather than just being able to book a free bulky waste collection during the Spring Clean, residents can book a free collection based on where they live. The free service will be offered on a month by month basis. You now have four opportunities to access a free collection during the year. This allows residents to use their free collection when they want it, rather than saving bulky waste to dispose of during the Spring Clean.
“We want as many residents as possible to get involved in the Spring Clean. We will continue to share more details on social media and our website, and full details can be found in the latest edition of Ashfield Matters magazine.”
Throughout the BIG Spring Clean local community groups, schools and volunteers will be out litter picking across our town centres and green spaces. The council is committed to making Ashfield a cleaner place to live, work and visit.
