23/03/2012 - Mobile Waste Service in Pulborough
After two years of operating, HDC have decided to withdraw parts of the Horsham mobiles waste service from April 2012. The service which operates in car parks in Steyning, Henfield, Pulborough and Storrington was introduced two years ago after widespread consultation. This consisted of a quarterly “Gobbler” service for general waste, a twice-weekly service for green waste and some bulky white goods such as cookers and washing machines. Analysis of usage shows that the green waste and white goods service have not been as well supported as hoped and this means the cost of the service can no longer be justified. HDC appreciate that the “Gobbler” service is valued and have committed to continue this in 2012/13 operating in Pulborough on Saturday 16th June 2012, 22nd September 2012, 15th December 2012 and 16th March 2013.
