Changes to waste and recycling collection dates will soon affect some households in Allerdale and most of Copeland.
Cumberland Council has announced that these changes will take effect from the week commencing September 29.
Residents of Copeland and Allerdale are urged to check their online calendars at www.cumberland.gov.uk/waste/binday and look out for a letter detailing any changes to collection days.
The council also announced that households in the former Allerdale area will benefit from an increased frequency of kerbside cardboard and paper collections.
These will now occur every two weeks instead of every four weeks, starting from the week commencing September 29 for the majority of households.
An additional 6,000 will also soon benefit from an improved kerbside recycling service.
Some rural households will have recycling collected for the first time. In contrast, others will see their service expanded to include the full list of recyclables, such as TetraPak, plastics, tin cans, glass, cardboard, and paper.
Recycling bins will be delivered to households from September onwards.
A spokesperson for Cumberland Council said: "We are in the process of writing to households in the former Allerdale and Copeland areas to update them on the expansion of our kerbside service."
