Refuse collections to continue as normal

Published: Monday, 2nd November 2020

As we enter a second lockdown, Sevenoaks District Council is reassuring residents that rubbish and recycling collections and Garden Waste collections will take place as normal.

Collections may take place at different times than some residents are used to so it is important that black and clear sacks are placed out by 7am and garden waste by 6.30am on the collection day.

Cabinet Member for Cleaner and Greener, Cllr Margot McArthur, says: “We are so proud of our waste collectors in what has been a tough year for everyone. Throughout the last lockdown, they continued to collect residents’ waste and recycling weekly and we do not expect this to change throughout the next lockdown in November and December.”
