Cannock Chase District Council Data Released

GreenBoxDay are delighted to announce that the collection data for Cannock Chase District Council is now live on the system as a result of Cannock Chase Council teaming up with GreenBoxDay.co.uk to offer the free email service.

By registering their details on the website, residents can receive regular weekly emails telling them which particular boxes and bins to put out as well as what should go in them. Residents who sign up can decide when they receive their reminder on the day of collection or up to three days before.

GreenBoxDay.co.uk keeps track of changes to collections automatically, for example because of bank holidays.

The email service doesn’t cost Cannock Chase District Council taxpayers a penny and is provided free by the company to Cannock Chase Council’s environmental services department.

Alternatively, if Cannock Chase residents are on the move and prefer text messages, there is a paid-for version of the service so regular recycling reminders can be sent directly to mobile phone.

Tony Williams, Cannock Chase Council’s environment leader, said: “The email reminder system is a service that Cannock Chase Council can offer residents for free by teaming up with GreenBoxDay.

“I’m sure most people will have forgotten, or almost forgotten, to put out their wheelie bins at some point.”

Councillor Williams added: “We have all got so much to remember nowadays and seem to lead such busy lives. I hope the email reminder service will prove useful to our residents.”

The authority is currently holding a trial at 200 households across Cannock Chase district which could see the need to sort out and separate recycling into different boxes scrapped.

Residents involved in the pilot can put their cardboard, paper, plastics and glass into one bin. It is then transferred for sorting at a single-streaming plant. If successful, the system will be rolled out across the rest of the 40,000 households in the district and would lead to savings for Cannock Chase Council’s coffers.
