2 * * * * * GARDEN WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE

Boston Borough Council are again providing the Saturday Garden Waste Collection service.

Last year enthusiastic residents from around the Borough diverted more than 700 tonnes from landfill using this service.

Unfortunately, due to lack of funding this year, the number of pick up sites has had to be reduced, also it will only be possible to pick up from the advertised sites and not from individual properties.

Collection dates, times and sites within Fishtoft Parish as follows:-

8 & 22 May, 12 & 26 June, 10 & 24 July, 7 & 21 August, 11 & 25 September, 9 & 23 October

0800 – Fishtoft Playing Field 08.30 – Camelot Gardens (outside no. 20a) 10.15 – Clifton Road by number 13 10.45 – Meridian Road – layby 11.15 Rider Gardens, near junction with Huntsman Close 11.45 – Kings Avenue – outside no. 23

09.15 – Pilleys Lane – down cul-de-sac

Please help to divert as much compostable waste from landfill as possible by using the fortnightly garden waste collection service. All yo have to do is bring your garden waste (grass cuttings, weeds, leaves, hedge and tree cuttings, etc) and Boston Borough Council staff will be on hand to help.

Bags or loose garden waste must not be left at sites in between collection dates and times.
