Golden ticket wheelie bin rollout set to begin
The rollout of new wheelie bins in a council area is set to begin on Monday. New Forest District Council will begin delivering wheelie bins and food waste caddies to residents of Brockenhurst, New Milton, Lymington and the surrounding areas as part of the first phase of the council's new waste and recycling service. As part of the rollout, golden tickets have been hidden in five of the food waste caddies, and can be used to claim five prizes on offer. The bins will be delivered between 14 April and 6 June. Residents will get a black-lidded 180 litre wheelie bin for rubbish, a green-lidded 240 litre recycling bin, and an outdoor and an indoor caddy for the new food waste recycling service. In the caddies there will be an information leaflet, a starter role of caddy liners, and, for some residents, a golden ticket. The prizes on offer are an annual garden waste subscription, a New Forest Show family ticket, a compost bin or water butt, one bulky waste collection, or a £50 donation to the chairman's charity. Cllr Geoffrey Blunden, portfolio holder for environment and sustainability, said: "I encourage residents receiving their new bins to check their food waste caddy. "Not only for the chance to win with the golden ticket, but also as the 'Get Set' leaflet contains useful information about the new waste collection service, such as what can be put in their food waste caddies."
