Wiltshire Council is asking residents to share their experiences to help shape future waste and recycling services, including plans to move to three-weekly household waste collections.
The council’s survey will run until Friday 17th April, gathering feedback on current household waste and recycling habits, use of Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) and residents’ views on service changes, including the move to three-weekly general household waste collections, alongside new weekly food waste collections coming in 2027 and additional recycling options.
The council says residents’ feedback will be used to shape future waste and recycling services, identify concerns and support needs during any service changes and improve communications.
Cllr Paul Sample JP, Cabinet Member for Environment, Climate and Waste, said, “We are aiming to increase recycling rates in Wiltshire from 40% to well over 60%. We know that changes to waste and recycling services will raise concerns. This survey is an important opportunity for residents to tell us what works for them, what doesn’t and what support they will need. Their feedback will help us shape communications and improve our service delivery.”
The survey is open to all residents and takes around ten minutes to complete.
