4. Q1

   The council has not yet made a decision. It is considering changing general-waste (black-bin) collections from once every two weeks to once every three weeks across the whole district. Food-waste collections would remain weekly, and recycling collections would remain every two weeks. The council needs to find £3.1 million in savings next year and estimates that this change would save about £600,000 a year. The council says the change may encourage more recycling, but it does not yet know what the effect would be in Hollinbrook; some households may also find the longer interval harder to manage. Overall, do you support or oppose this proposal?

   • Strongly oppose
   • Oppose
   • Neither support nor oppose
