​Stalbridge Rubbish and Recycling collections over the Christmas Period will not change! With Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day falling on the weekend this year, your rubbish and recycling collections over the festive period will be on your usual day of the week. Refer to your calendar or see the bin day checker to see your usual collection days.
Things to Remember:
  • up to two extra sacks of rubbish can be put beside your bin on your first rubbish collection after Christmas Day
  • no garden waste collections will take place from Christmas Day until Monday 10 January
  • household recycling centres are open from 9am to 4pm daily, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day
  • extra recycling, including glass and food, will be collected on your recycling collection day, provided it has been separated correctly and placed in a suitable sturdy container (no bags or cardboard boxes) that can be easily lifted by one person
  • please help the crews by putting your glass out for collection before Christmas
  • This ensures you have as much space as possible in your glass box, helping prevent over spilling containers, and reduces the amount of extra glass the teams collect over the busy festive period.

Festive recycling
Many households produce extra waste over Christmas, but much of it can be recycled using your kerbside Recycle for Dorset service. Remember that you can recycle:

cooked and uncooked food, using your food waste bin
wrapping paper (not foil or glittery paper, please)
cardboard and recyclable packaging (not polystyrene)
Christmas cards and envelopes
See what items can be recycled.

Christmas trees
Dorset Council does not collect Christmas trees of any kind with rubbish or recycling at the kerbside.
You can recycle your real Christmas tree by:
  • home composting it
  • cutting it up and placing it in your garden waste bin
  • taking it to a household recycling centre
  • booking a Christmas tree collection with a Dorset-based charity or service: Weldmar Hospice - covers all Dorset Council areas apart from Wareham, Swanage and East Dorset

Blackmore Vale U3A presents an afternoon with Miranda Pender on Tuesday 11th January 2022 at Henstridge Village Hall, BA8 0TH. Doors open 2.15pm Speaker 3.00pm. CARPE DIEM – SEIZE THE DAY! Ever thought of doing this? Well, that is certainly what our speaker, the lyricist Miranda Pender has done. After overcoming a life-threatening illness, in her early fifties she totally changed her direction into music. At the age of 52 Miranda learnt the guitar and started writing and singing her own songs so she has more than compensated for the late start! Come and listen to her raunchy, romantic, poignant, humourous songs. The subjects of which range from shipwrecks to stalkers; from the perils of punting to that awkward situation where you discover your lover’s name sewn into the back of his underpants! Members £1.50 Visitors £2.50 Includes tea and cakes! For more information about Blackmore Vale U3A call 01963 362107 or visit our website www.u3a.org.uk/
