East Devon residents can now sign up online to a new fortnightly green waste collection service which is being introduced by the district council from Monday May 14.
Our kerbside collection will make it so much easier for East Devon’s green fingered residents to dispose of their green waste, which will be composted in East Devon and used by local farms.
Over the next few days, the district’s 69,000 households will each receive a bin hanger giving more details of the new service which will cost £48 a year, with an introductory offer of a free 240ltr green bin.
Local author, poet, and generally eclectic writer P.J. Reed has just published the fourth book in her collection of senryu and haiku poetry.
P.J. Reed is a member of the Exeter Authors Association and this is the first of her two books published in 2017.
"Flicker is a collection of senryu and haiku poetry P.J. Reed has written over the past two years, This collection celebrates the great selection of interesting characters you meet in Devon, with their stories woven into a poetic tapestry featuring the rugged beauty of the Devon countryside."
Exeter Labour has pledged to complete work on the business case for kerbside food waste collections and to introduce the service at the earliest opportunity, if re-elected to run the City Council in May.

East Devon residents will be at the forefront of one of the most innovative recycling and waste services in the country following the district council’s decision to award its new collection contract to current operators SUEZ (formerly SITA UK).

The new contract, which will run for seven years, with the option to extend up to three...
Residents are being encouraged to ‘starve your bin’ by reducing, reusing and recycling seasonal waste wherever possible this festive season.
From plastic food and drink packaging to cardboard boxes and wrapping paper that housed gifts under the Christmas tree - there's a variety of packaging that can go into your recycling bins, boxes and sacks.
Christmas lunch, New Year’s Eve celebrations and friends and family popping round all mean one thing – fridges and cupboards stocked with food and drink.
Plastic drinks bottles and pots; tubs and trays can go straight into...
People are being urged not to overfill their rubbish bins and avoid putting out extra bin bags full of waste.
Overfilled bins are prone to litter spillage and can cause injury to the refuse crews when top-heavy bins are tipped into the truck.
Cllr Keith Owen, Lead Councillor for the Environment, said: "In Exeter we want to do the best for our city and the environment by reducing the waste we throw away and recycling as much as we can. If people are recycling their household plastics, cans and tins, paper and card, by putting it all in their green wheelie-bin, most will find...
