Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) will be switching to their annual winter opening hours from next month

A new recycling and reuse partnership initiative is being trialled in Devizes later this month, which will see residents given the opportunity to buy bargain quality used items sourced from Wiltshire Council's household recycling centres.

A Chippenham resident has been handed a large fine at Swindon Magistrates Court for fly-tipping his domestic waste in the rural countryside.

Waste collection services have been seeing disruption in recent weeks, but the council is working hard to make improvements

The theme for this year's Recycle Week is 'Step it Up', which encourages people to make positive changes to recycle more to reduce carbon emissions

A former Amesbury fruit and veg market trader has been successfully prosecuted by Wiltshire Council for fly tipping cardboard, plastic and rotting food waste and other environmental waste offences.

Households that pay to receive garden waste collections will receive an email or letter this week inviting them to renew their subscription by 14 August. New customers can also sign up to receive this service.

Wiltshire Council has installed a new commercial-sized bin on George Street, Warminster, to help solve the issue of fly-tipping on this street.

A man from Lyneham has been fined £400 after CCTV captured him leaving bin liners full of waste next to the recycling bins in Sainsbury's car park, Royal Wootton Bassett. The waste was deposited directly underneath a sign warning people not to fly-tip waste next to recycling bins, and advising them of the consequences of fly-tipping.
