I was delighted Cornwall Council chose Rosemellin, North Roskear Road and other areas in Camborne to pilot the scheme. I have fought hard to keep Camborne’s roads and streets as tidy as possible. All wild bird species, their eggs and nests are protected by law under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Complaints about wild bird or gulls on Town or Parish owned/managed property, can be reported to the relevant Town or Parish Clerk.

You can buy a traditional rubbish bin or a wheeled bin and put your bagged rubbish out for collection in the bin. As bins are emptied by hand we prefer that wheeled bins are no bigger than 140 litres Larger households of 6 or more people can apply for additional non-recyclable allowance. If you have nappy waste, please apply for that separate collection service first. Find out more Larger Household Allowance Terms and Conditions. If bird feeding is attracting gulls and larger birds to your garden you should stop feeding the birds. This may also allow the smaller garden birds to return. Can the Council stop people from feeding birds?No, not at all. Composting is the preferred method of disposing of your garden waste. It doesn’t cost any money and it is much better for the environment. If you have a compost bin, keep using it. Why do I have to pay for a collection? Some feral pigeons are capable of breeding throughout the year; however the peak occurs between March and July. You can use auditory bird scarers in rural areas for the protection of crops - but only as a last resort! Birds get used to scarers, so it’s a good idea to use a variety of scarers to maintain their novelty. Use your glass recycling box on aweekly basis. Overfilling the box makes it heavier and more difficult to handle. Only permitted items may be disposed ofand must be loose in the bin(s) and notcontained in bags. Garden waste bin(s)contaminated with non-permitted itemswill not be collected until the items areremoved and the bin presented for thenext scheduled collection

Garden waste can be home composted or taken to our civic amenity and recycling centres. Why are there no collections between December and February? Further information on these measures can be found in the Natural England Wildlife Management Advice Note. This provides guidance on the legal methods that can be used to help manage certain wild birds lawfully, without the need for a licence. However a recent analysis of Residual Waste in Pembrokeshire has found that 48% of the residual bag could be recycled through our kerbside recycling schemes and our Waste and Recycling Centres, so we can still do more. Bins returned from previous customers are reused. New customers will not necessarily be issued a new bin, there may be some evidence of wear and tear. How long does my subscription last for?We have an Assisted Collections service for householders who are unable to carry their rubbish to their collection point due to age, disability or medical condition and have no one else at home who can do it for them. This service is free of charge however you will need to confirm you meet the eligibility criteria to register. Report a missed collection These items melt at a different temperature to glass bottles and jars. If they get mixed up and collected, they will contaminate the load making it useless and unable to be recycled. How can I dispose of the items that can't go in my box, without them being sent to landfill? For household waste, please ensure your rubbish is contained within rubbish bags before placing in your bins.

Please read the guidance for developersregarding what type of container is required for each type of property before purchasing containers. Prices Bin Type Do not allow bins to overflow, and clean often. Particularly commercial waste bins containing a high proportion of food You can use our waste and recycling search directory to find out what can be put in each container or to look up a specific item to find out which one it goes in. It is your responsibility to clean the bin. What can I do with my garden waste between December and February?Feral pigeons build their nests in or on buildings and other structures, where they are usually found on ledges or in hollows, under eaves or on girders. Please also ensure that your rubbish is contained within the bin. Any excess rubbish will not be collected.
