It’s time to fix the bins
A new, borough-wide consultation will launch *Monday 5 August* for 8 weeks. We want your views on the current waste and recycling service.
The consultation will be available online – basildonwaste.commonplace.is [
]. Residents can also complete the survey by visiting the main reception at the Basildon Centre. Alternatively, residents can call the council on 01268 533333 to complete a copy of the survey, where staff will be on-hand to provide support over the phone. Waste Roadshows will also take place across the borough for residents to learn more about and complete the consultation.
Are you ready to make a difference? Let’s bring pride back to where we live.
