REUSABLE SEAGULL SACKS

  
      Properties which are unsuitable for wheelie bins, receive a weekly sack collection.
 
      If you currently have a bin at your property, you are not eligible for this service.
 
      Reusable seagull sacks are free and can be obtained from the Ferry Office or can be ordered from the SHDC Website: 
 
      Order a seagull proof sack.
 
      How your waste collection service works
  • Refuse sacks are placed inside your seagull sack and collected weekly
  • Blue and clear sacks are collected fortnightly. Please do not place your recycle sacks inside the seagull sack.
 
       Find your Recycling & Waste collection day and calendar 

      Help South Hams District Council by:
  • Making sure refuse sacks are placed in the seagull sacks to help prevent litter, especially in bad weather.
  • Place recycling sacks next to your seagull sack and not inside it.
  • Take your seagull sack back inside as soon after your collection as possible.
  • Mark your sack with your name or house number to help you identify it.
  • Please do not tie the handles of your seagull sack together so crews can easily empty them.
  • Do not place loose waste in your seagull sack. All refuse should be in refuse sacks.
 
      Remember, your sack must be at the boundary of your property by 7am on collection day.



​KINGSWEAR HISTORIANS

The Kingswear Historians are proposing to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day by creating an exhibition of memories relevant to that event. The time- frame is probably around 6 months either side of D -Day. To this end they would like to know if any of you have either your own memories or, more likely, stories in the family about that event or time.  These often go down the generations but are rarely written down anywhere. We would like to include any memories, in whatever form, letters, pictures, or written stories.  You may have items from that time, biscuit tins, army issue items, clothing, gas masks, ration cards, that you would lend to the exhibition. 

If you have anything, or photos or letters or telegrams, etc., please let Alison know at  aatredoubt@btinternet.com  She would be delighted to hear from you.  Come on, get out those old suitcases from the loft or garage and have a good old rummage!

Many thanks!
