Fire safety advice

Following an investigation it is believed that a fatal flat fire in Kings Hedges started accidentally, and the most probable cause was an electric bike that was charging.

We want to share some important safety advice from the fire service on how to safely charge electric bikes or scooters. All our council homes are provided with a smoke detector. Take a moment to test your smoke detectors today. If there are any issues contact us on 0800 805 1313

Waste and Recycling guide for developers

The South Cambridgeshire refuse and recycling scheme

Our full service aims can be found in our planning guide below.

We aim to:

Provide a kerbside collection for all existing and new developments.
Increase our recycling rates by encouraging waste reduction and home composting.
Make the service efficient, and in turn cost effective which will help to reduce vehicle emissions and our carbon footprint.
Increase public safety by reducing the amount of reversing and unnecessary vehicle manoeuvres.

In all cases, please refer to this Waste and recycling guide for developers where you will find all the necessary requirements for recycling and waste provisions for all development sizes. This is tailored to our waste collection service.
