Rossendale Borough Council has today taken the decision, following discussions with those affected, to halt the introduction of a small scale recycling project for 300 houses in Haslingden.
The project was developed in response to concerns expressed by this community about waste, fly tipping and recycling.
We are now taking a brief pause on the project because we are aware that both the scale and nature of the project has been misunderstood, and this has caused community concern.

Due to condition weather conditions, collections from remote properties for today (Thursday 28th April 2016) have been suspended.
Every effort will be made to complete today’s other collections where access is possible and it is safe to do so, however current conditions may result in limited success in areas on a gradient or where vehicle manoeuvrability is limited.
