Bradford Council has outlined a programme for the introduction of wheelie bins in the Keighley area.

The new bins, which hold roughly double the capacity of the old round models, will be phased in during March and introduced through the whole of the area by September.

Council officers claim the new models will lead to less rubbish on the streets which will in turn help to clean up neighbourhoods.

The bins will be introduced to each area over a four-week period that will include a week of leaflet deliveries and a week of exhibitions, followed by the delivery of the bins and the first collection in the following fortnight.

Oxenhope, Cullingworth, Denholme, Harden and Wilsden will have the first leaflet delivery on the week beginning March 13, followed by an exhibition from March 20, delivery from March 27 and the first collection from April 3.

Haworth, Oakworth, Exley Head and Fell Lane will have a leaflet delivery from May 2, exhibitions from May 8, bin delivery from May 15 and the first collection from May 22.

Braithwaite, Guardhouse, Utley and Beechcliffe will have leaflets delivered the week beginning June 19, exhibitions from June 26, bin delivery from July 3 and the first collection from July 10.

Ingrow, Spring Bank, Thwaites, Worth Village and Lawkholme will have leaflets from August 1, exhibitions from August 8, bin delivery from August 14 and the first collection from August 21.

And Riddlesden and Bingley will have a leaflet drop from September 18, exhibitions from September 25, delivery from October 2 and collection from October 9.

Wheelie bins have been introduced to half the 180,000 homes in the district.
