News ; Jan 2024: Announcement of a new weekly food waste and fortnightly rubbish collections. The new service starts in the St Germans and Deviock area
from April. Food waste collections will help us to recycle up to 35% more of our black bag rubbish. And to help us all waste less, we’re also introducing a limit on the amount of rubbish we’ll collect. This limit will be what fits in your new wheelie bin or reusable protective sack with the lid closed, equivalent to 180 litres fortnightly.
Please note, if your home shares bins or a bin store with neighbouring properties – you live in a flat or a house in multiple occupation (HMO) – then some details of the rollout, your new bins and the new collection service may be different for you, and we will be in touch direct. This service is only for household waste, if you have a self catering property or are running a business from your home, please visit www.cornwall.gov.uk/commercialwaste or you can use email to contact us at commercialwaste@cornwall.gov.uk to find out more.
The changes will cut Cornwall's annual carbon emissions by nearly 18,000 tonnes of CO2 each year. That’s a saving of about the amount of CO2 that a car would kick out driving round the world 2,547 times. The new service will give all of us a way to contribute directly from home to the creation of a thriving, sustainable Cornwall that offers a great environment for all.
Getting set for your new collections:
• The new service will use the same coloured recycling bags and black box system that we do now. Make sure you’re recycling as much as you can because this will help you to keep within the new fortnightly rubbish limit. To order your equipment and find out more, visit www.cornwall.gov.uk/getrecycling.
• We are delivering the new food waste and rubbish bins to your area between January and March. Make sure you read and follow the ‘Get Set’ instruction leaflet that will come inside your green collection caddy.
• To deliver the new service, we have reviewed and rescheduled the collection routes. This will mean a change of collection day for most people. Look out for your ‘Go’ New Collections Calendar arriving in the post in March. This will tell you the date of your last collection on the old service and your new collection day.
• Follow us on our Cornwall Recycles Facebook page for updates and recycling tips. Visit www.facebook.com/cornwallrecycles.
Come and meet us: You can talk to us face-to-face about the changes at one of our community roadshows. We’ll be at Polbathic Village Hall on Monday 26 February. Visit www.cornwall.gov.uk/wastechanges for more roadshow dates and locations as well as further details about the new service and how to get in touch.

September 2021. In response to a query from a resident about the parking of cars on the beach, DaSRA received the following information from Cornwall Council's Environment team:
Although a beach, Downderry is also used as a small harbour and as such comes under the management of Cornwall Council’s Maritime Service. The Maritime Manager has confirmed that a small number of vehicles are issued with permits to park on the beach whilst conducting business related to the harbour. These are the vehicles that will have been seen parked on the sand and will have permission to park in that area. Further queries can be passed onto Maritime Service via the following email address: harbouroffice@cornwall.gov.uk .
