REMINDER: Civic Amenity Visit (bin lorry) – Saturday, 5 October

Please note, the final 2024 visit of the bin lorry, will be taking place on Saturday, 5 October, as follows:

Ingestre: Opposite Home Farm Court, Ingestre, from 9.00am – 10.00am
Tixall: Village Hall Car Park, Tixall, from 10.15am – 11.15am

Please be aware that, due to a change in legislation as in 2023, we do not accept sofas or armchairs at the Civic Amenity Visits.  This is due to legislation around Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) which are found in soft furnishings, these items cannot be crushed (as they would be in the collection vehicle) and need to be collected separately either by arrangement with Stafford Borough Council or taken to designated containers at the Household Waste Recycling Centres in Stafford and Stone.  This information will appear on the posters we send out to you and there will also be an advisory sign put out on collection days.  We would appreciate it if you could also communicate this information to your residents in advance to prevent them making a wasted journey.
