Proposed changes to recycling centres

You may have seen that Derbyshire County Council are carrying out a consultation on how the County Council recycling(Bring) centres operate and what they can take. To enable better management of the recycling centres for the residents of Derbyshire, Derbyshire County Council are updating the existing cameras and vehicle counters across the county.

However, to reach the level of savings required, a combination of changes to the current recycling centre services are being proposed within this consultation. These are:

1. Reducing the opening hours or days of recycling centres.

2. Restricting or charging for tyres and asbestos.

3. Charging for usage of recycling centres by small Derbyshire businesses.

This consultation is only for Derbyshire County Council household waste recycling centres. It does not include Derby City Council’s household waste recycling centre at Raynesway. DCC are carrying out this consultation by way of online questioniare. Please click the button below to access this

Your chance to win £100

Dear Resident,

Your Council Your Voice 2023 – Short Summer Survey – Your chance to win £100

We are contacting you as you have previously stated your interest in completing consultation surveys regarding Derbyshire County Council and our services.

As part of our ongoing dialogue to better understand the views of residents and communities throughout Derbyshire we have created a short survey to run alongside our annual 'Your Council Your Voice’ consultation which runs each autumn to gather residents’ views about council services.

The aim of the survey is to collect residents’ overall views and perceptions of the council in order to track our progress and gather regular feedback. This will enable us to compare with previous results from 2022 and compare with national trends over the short and long term.

We would therefore be grateful if you could take 5 mins to fill out this short survey. The survey will be open until midnight on Wednesday 16th August 2023.

Alternatively, please click on this link to go to the survey: www.derbyshire.gov.uk/yourvoice2023

Once you have completed the survey you will also have an opportunity to enter our prize draw to win a £100 gift card.

All information you provide will be kept strictly confidential. More information is available in our privacy statement.
