How do the non- recycling collections work?
Every two weeks, a lorry will collect your black bin for non-recyclable waste
Once the lorry is full, it takes the waste to the Waste Transfer Station at Eastern Avenue, it is then transferred to a larger vehicle.
Non-recyclable waste is taken to SUEZ Suffolk Energy from Waste (EfW) facility near Ipswich. SUEZ converts the waste that cannot be reused or recycled into energy. This moves away from landfill and aims to reduce the carbon footprint of waste produced in Southend.
