HOUSEHOLDERS threw out more than 81,000 tonnes of rubbish in the last year, figures have revealed.
A report given to council cabinet members also shows how much it costs to empty the various different bins householders get.
Brown bins cost £4.28, white sacks and blue bins cost £1.06 each, grey bins were £59.53, and green bins came in at £4.04 per household.
The report said the costs associated with waste disposal changes every quarter and can be affected by seasonal factors, for the green bin, and the rate at which residents recycle their waste.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
