I couldn't find information about the availability of compost bins.

I don't think you should have to register just to browse the jobs.
Site survey participant, April 2008.
|
You don't need to register for the jobs area of the site if you don't want to - you can still search through all the jobs, and get application packs as usual. You do get more options if you log in, but registration is completely optional.

I want to know the days my green bin and glass recycling box is to be collected this year.
Which week will my glass recycling box be collected (week c, but i don't know which week we're on)?

Our bin collections search now includes the next collection dates for grey bins, green bins and glass boxes. It also shows the dates for road sweeping in your area.

I just wanted to have a look to see what kind of jobs are available in Kirklees Council and you cant browse a list you have to search for specific jobs.

What can you put in your green bin?

I was looking for places to dispose of garden waste and cardboard. As a newcomer to the area i would have liked to find a map, so i could see how close the sites were.

You can see local recycling facilities on a map by visiting our 'Where's my nearest?' pages. We also have information about the Kirklees waste and recycling sites. For garden waste, we offer free collections from your home. You can order a garden waste collection online.

...the way in which the green agenda is confused with environmental health is most unhelpful. The site structure needs a good tidy up and much clearer signposting.
Site survey participant, September 2007.
|
We have created a new section about climate change and green living. You'll find lots of links to this information from our A to Z and throughout this site. We know that green issues are important to many of our users, and we'll continue to work on improving this content and making it easier for you to find.

It would be really useful to be able to print off your press releases.
Email received, 17th February 2007.
|
All pages on the Kirklees website can be printed. However, we have added a 'Print version' button to our press releases so you can print them without the site navigation and sidebar.
