Shinfield Parish Council is pleased to share with the community that five litter bins have now been installed across Shinfield and Spencers Wood.
Shinfield Parish Cllr Brett Johnson, Facilities Committee Chair stated ‘One bin replaces a broken unit in Spencers Wood. The remaining four are brand-new additions around High Copse and the Shinfield Meadows, placed to support the excellent community work carried out by local resident Edward Shaw. His consistent litter-picking and detailed reporting have helped the Parish Council identify where new bins would have the greatest impact.
Phase 1 of the installations were completed this week and Shinfield Parish Facilities Committee will continue to drive improvements throughout the parish in the new year’.
FYI all our bins are emptied weekly on a Friday and are labelled Shinfield Parish Council. WBC also have bins in the parish and the developers have put in new ones too, so if you come across overflowing unmarked bins, they should be reported to WBC (details on their website) and any with our sticker, please report to us info@shinfieldparish.gov.uk
Please also note, we are also aware that many bins are emptied only to be refilled with household waste, it then takes our facilities staff away from other important jobs to empty them. Please be mindful how you use these bins as they are intended for passers by not residents to fill with household waste. Hope this clarifies. Feel free to message us with any questions.
