Kerbside Collection of small Electricals & Batteries
Following a fire at Wiser, the recycling site in Thetford which recycles small electricals and batteries, we have had to suspend our kerbside collections of these items.
We are working hard to secure another outlet and are awaiting the compliance scheme to organise another supplier who can collect these items from us.
We will continue to advise residents via our website and social media that collections are postponed and to hang on to the items until we recommence collections.
Kind regards,Sarah Simpson
Environmental Services Manager
Breckland Council

** Speedwatch Appeal **
Community Speedwatch – please see the attached poster for details of vacancies on the team
Great Ellingham is plagued by illegal speeding.
Whilst the local police do their best, they are not the solution to this problem. We are and you could be.
We already have a Community Speedwatch group, but are looking for some more volunteers.
The police will provide us with the equipment and the training; all we need to do is to devote some time. The more of us there are, the more effect we will have upon this menace and the less it will impinge upon each volunteer’s time.
Please email Peter Joyce at p.e.joyce@hotmail.co.uk to discuss.
