Thank you for helping celebrate Recycle Week!
This week was the 17th annual Recycle Week and although this year has been difficult we want to say thank you to all our residents as you have continued to recycle throughout.
And a big thank you to our recycling and waste workers at Veolia, who have been real heroes too, providing the best service possible under the most difficult of circumstances.
