Green Wheelie Bin

for normal household waste and household material that cannot yet be recycled.

The next weekly green bin collection for normal household waste will be on

 Wednesday morning the 19th of November 2008. 

Collection times may vary but are often quite early in the morning.

Blue Wheelie Bin for Waste Paper, Glass, and Aluminium Cans.

The next blue bin collection for waste paper and cardboard, glass bottles or

glass containers for food, and aluminium drinks cans is on

Friday morning the 28th November 2008.

The morning collection time is variable but may be quite early, often before 8.00 a.m.

Residents without blue bin facilities should make certain they have a blue plastic bag (in the first place obtainable from Craven District Council  in which to put their waste paper, Telephone Customer Services on 01756 706203). This blue bag should then be placed at your normal bin collection point on the same date as the blue bin collections. Cardboard must not be placed in the blue plastic bags. Please see the Local Authorities notice on Waste Management given further below on this news page.

 

 

Brown Wheelie Bin for garden waste.

The next brown bin collection for garden waste will be on

 Friday morning the 21st of November 2008. 

Collection times may vary but are planned to be early

for Austwick and could be at 7.00am.

Get up early or put your brown bins out Thursday evening.

 

 

 

Please Help the environment by recycling as much as possible.

 

We are fortunate in having a Council that is trying very hard to make it easier to recycle waste. Please help by sorting waste out and placing it in the correct bin.

There is now the facility to recycle plastic containers but the collection sites are in the municipal car parks in Settle.

Waste Paper including cardboard, may be left in the Settle Swimming Pool Car Park in the container trailer. The collection there is sold to raise funds to support the Settle Swimming Pool. Please do not pack your paper in plastic bags; keep your paper and cardboard in paper or card containers, or take them loose as there is certain to be empty cardboard boxes you may use at the site. However, do not leave piles of newspapers in a loose conditions so that they may blow about in the wind.

Please remember that the site is manned by unpaid volunteers; please do all you can to make their work a little easier

Austwick Community Players

 

 

 

It was all Stetsons, spurs and smoking guns for the Players performances of 'Gone West'. Based, loosely, around the mythical American mid-west town of Austwickville and most of the scenes taking place in Earl's Saloon, there was the can-can danced by gartered bar room girls, a bunch of would-be Mexican bandits who drank too much Tequila, a tribe of hungry Indians, and a mouthy signorita being taken hostage, it was a rootin', tootin' great time for the large, appreciative audiences at each of the three performances
