A six-week consultation has opened on options for recycling bring bank sites across the Forest of Dean.
Forest of Dean District Council has opened a six-week consultation on the future of recycling bring bank sites across the district.
Bring banks provide public collection points for materials including glass and cardboard. The council says the review follows changes to kerbside collections, with more materials now able to be recycled directly from homes.
No decision has yet been taken on the future shape of the service. The council says residents' responses will be used to inform a later Cabinet decision.
The consultation applies to district council bring banks and does not include Oak Quarry Household Recycling Centre, which is operated by Gloucestershire County Council.
