00:00Big changes are coming to the way rubbish is collected in North Somerset and it could affect how thousands of households manage their waste.
00:11From now on, Black Bean Collection will switch from Fort Lightly to every three weeks.
00:18The goal? To cut costs and to boost recycling rates, which currently sit at 55%.
00:24Recycling collection will still happen weekly and residents will now use red bags to separate out even more materials, including something new, soft plastics like plastic bags and food wrappers.
00:38That makes North Somerset one of the first councils in the country to take these items at the curbside.
00:46And the council says that the shift could help save as much as £1 million this year alone.
00:52Last year, it spent £4 million on Black Bean Collections.
00:58With growing pressure on adult and children's services, reducing waste is one way to make a difference and there's room for improvement.
01:06Studies show that the average Black Bean Collection in the area still contains 18% recyclable materials and 27% recyclable food waste.
01:17The new red bag scheme, trialled across Somerset, could reduce black bean waste by up to 10%.
01:24Some of the soft plastics collected, like crisp packets and cling film, will be sold to specialist firms that turn them into new products.
01:33For households with extra needs, like families with babies, the council will offer exceptions and online form will be available at the end of the month for this.
