A community action day in Homethorpe, Orchard Park, will take place on Friday 27 September at 11am, when residents can join area housing teams, grounds maintenance teams, Humberside Police, Humberside Fire & Rescue and Riverside Housing to carry out litter picking and bulb planting.
Councillor Anita Harrison, portfolio holder for waste and recycling, said: “In Hull, we have a good track record for recycling and I would like to thank those residents that make the effort to ensure they recycle correctly.
“At Hull City Council, we provide a range of services including three Household Waste and Recycling Centres, and every household is entitled to one free bulky item collection a year of up to five items.
“Not only is recycling good for the environment, your city and your fellow residents, but by playing your part, you are helping us to save hundreds of thousands of pounds per year, money that can be used to boost your local economy and protect other council services that your community relies on.”
