Our new partner SUEZ are organising local events that can be attended by residents wanting to know more about the recycling, waste and street cleansing services being provided to Southend-on-Sea.
These events vary from local resident association meetings to SUEZ attending with a stand at a local event. SUEZ also organise a quarterly Community Liaison Group meeting, where they provide updates to residents on the new services, and develop local initiatives in collaboration with resident champions to support the community and meet local needs.
Residents may attend these meetings, and volunteer to participate in local partnered activities for the benefit of their community. The calendar of events shown will be updated. To attend or invite SUEZ to participate in a future event, please contact the SUEZ Engagement Team by email at southend.uk@suez.com .
