Communal Bin Review – Phase 6 Consultation

The City of Edinburgh Council is currently undertaking a consultation exercise as part of their plans to introduce new waste and recycling arrangements within the New Town and some adjacent areas. This is described as being Phase 6 of the Communal Bin Review that started in 2021.

As part of their communications, the Council has written to all residents on the streets included in the current Phase. They have also held three drop-in sessions to allow residents to ask questions about the new arrangements. There is another drop in session underway this afternoon at Palmerston Place Church and two further ones planned at Stockbridge Library and The Dean Church on 7 and 10 March, respectively.

Further information about the consultation can be found in the attached email. You can also find more information on the Council’s website. 

We will be discussing this topic at our next monthly meeting on Monday 10 March which will be held online using Zoom. The agenda and link to the Zoom meeting can be found on our website.
