A roadshow packed with information on north Wiltshire's new wheelie bins refuse collection service, rolls into Chippenham next week.

As well as being able to see the new green 180-litre bins, which are about to be delivered to homes in Chippenham, householders will also be able to talk to council staff about the working of the system.

Chippenham is the second area to receive the wheelie bins, which replace the black sack collection system.

Aimed at encouraging householders to reduce the amount of rubbish they throw away each week, North Wiltshire District Council also hopes the bins will make storing refuse more hygienic for residents, and its collection safer for the council's refuse teams.

Information packs explaining the new system are being delivered to residents with the new bins and the first collection in Chippenham will take place on December 15.

The system is being phased in over the next seven months with the third phase starting in Wootton Bassett in February. The roadshow will be in Chippenham High Street between November 27 and 29 and will be open to the 10am and 4.30pm.
