Mayor Dave Hodgson with new Bedford Borough Council battery recycling bags

Battery Recycling Collection Now Available to All

Battery recycling from the kerbside is now available to all households, with the final addresses in the 'roll out' having had their battery recycling bag delivered recently. Residents can simply fill their battery bag with used batteries, seal it and leave it on top of the black refuse bin or sacks on the normal day of collection. Battery bags will then be collected and replaced by the collection crews. I'm really pleased that this is now available to all, as I know from talking to residents that people want to recycle more and will take opportunities given to them to do so. That's why we're working to make it as easy as possible to recycle.

This means that residents and businesses in the county struggle to make full use of the internet and online services. Poor broadband services are seen as a major obstacle to sustained economic growth and investment in the county.
