The Parish Council has been informed that weekly textile collections will now begin this autumn when the contractor Enterprise, introduces new vehicles with larger recycling compartments. They had initially hoped to launch the weekly textile collections alongside other changes to the waste and recycling service. However, with residents making great efforts to recycle, there has been a large rise in the volume of other materials that have been collected. This has meant that the current collection vehicles do not have enough space to accommodate additional clothing.

In the meantime an appointment system has been put in place for residents wishing to request a textile collection and it will be collected from their homes within four working days. Enterprise will continue to donate money from these collections in Daventry District to the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.

To request a textile collection, please contact: Daventry District Council – phone 01327 871100, email recycling@daventrydc.gov.uk or visit www.daventrydc.gov.uk/recycling
