The BID also provides a General Waste collection scheme for all non-recyclable items. This scheme aims to save you money by offering a £1 per bag collection charge, rather than banded price rates that are often used by waste collection services.
The general waste is taken to a combustion site where the rubbish is burned using new technologies to produce energy for the national grid, avoiding the need to add to the ever growing landfill sites.
