The events will provide an opportunity to ask questions about the new 1-2-3+ collection service, which starts on June 4, as well as ome tips on recycling and advice on how to slim your bin.

Daventry District Council’s environment portfolio holder, Councillor Jo Gilford, said: “These changes to waste and recycling collections are considerable so we are keen to do all we can to help our residents adjust to them.

And households across the district will soon be receiving booklets containing information about the new service as well as a calendar showing details of their new collection day.

People can also find out all about the service in the latest edition of Daventry Calling magazine, which is being distributed to homes district-wide, and on the council’s website.

The new service is part of a wider new environmental services arrangement which will be delivered by Daventry Norse - a joint venture between Daventry District Council and Norse Commercial Services Ltd.

From June 4, the current system of waste and recycling collections will be replaced by the 1-2-3+ service, comprising a weekly food waste collection, a fortnightly recycling collection in a new blue-lidded wheelie bin, and a general waste black bin collection every three weeks.

Households can also sign up to a fortnightly garden waste service for an annual fee of £35 per bin, per year by visiting www.daventrydc.gov.uk/gardenwaste
