Village Services - Refuse Collection

Domestic refuse collection for The Seavingtons is the responsibility of the South Somerset District Council who operate a partial re-cycling service - "Sort It!". On Moday 15th October 2007 this service was pooled with other councils under the name "Somerset Waste Partnership".

From April 1st 2008 (I couldn't possibly comment!) collection days in the Seavingtons will be changed to Mondays.

There will be weekly collections of material for re-cycling eg tins, bottles etc and food waste, usually on a Monday. Other domestic waste will be collected fortnightly, also on Mondays.

Where a public holiday disrupts the collection service the Seavington collection will usually take place on the Tuesday following the public holiday.

The Council's helpline for refuse collection issues is: 01935 461046.

Changes to 2008 collection dates caused by Bank Holidays are:

Easter - collection on Tuesday 14th April instead of Monday 13th April

Early May - collection on Tuesday 5th May instead of Monday 4th May

Spring - collection on Tuesday 26th May instead of Monday 25th May

Summer - Collection on Tuesday 1st September instead of Monday 31st Au8gust

Please ensure that you save your waste paper and cardboard for the monthly village skip services since this helps to pay for your copy of The Seavingtons' News and this web-site. The timetable for this collection is under Village Services on this site.
