Forty nine newsletter readers responded to the Waste Action
Group's mini-survey about the proposed changes to Mid Devon's
recycling service from October 2015. The respondents were broadly
not in favour of the introduction of a charged garden waste
collection service, however the great majority were quite happy to
have their landfill waste and doorstep recycling collected by the
Council on a fortnightly basis. There was a 100% delighted response
to the news that the Council are proposing to start collecting
household plastic waste at the doorstep. The survey results have
not yet been fully analysed or discussed by the Waste Action Group.
Once this is done we will be communicating the results of the
survey to the head of environmental Services at MDDC.
