Properties on a Friday week 1 Waste and Recycling collection incorrectly showing a non-recycling collection due today 19th April 2025.

We are aware of an error impacting Friday week 1 waste collections, which meant some properties showed a non-recycling waste collection due today, 19th April, on Where I Live and the Our Street App, ahead of weekly collections starting from 28th April. This collection was showing in error and the issue which caused this has now been resolved. As per the fortnightly week 1 waste collection still active, your next collection was due Saturday 26th April, and weekly thereafter. Please therefore take your black wheelie bin back in and represent this on your next collection date. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this error may have caused.

Risk Management Strategy

We recognise that Risk Management is an essential part of delivering good governance in a Local Authority and reduces the uncertainty of achieving Basildon's strategic ambitions as defined in the Council's Corporate Plan. Effective and efficient risk governance and oversight provide management with assurance that the Council's business activities will be positively enhanced by opportunities, but not be adversely impacted by threats that could have been foreseen. The effective management of risk can support the organisation in delivering transformed services required within the dynamically changing environment of local government.

We are committed to driving the organisation forward to achieve a risk aware culture and in doing so Basildon Council has identified ways to manage risk which enable us to make effective decisions to meet the Councils objectives and to safeguard the Council's assets.
