Message from West Berkshire District Council's waste team:
We have made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend garden and food waste collections to prioritise rubbish and recycling.
The garden waste collection service will be suspended from Monday 18 to Friday 29 January 2021. We are asking residents whose garden waste is due for collection on or after 18 January 2021 to not put their green garden waste bin out until service can be resumed again from 1 February 2021.
This change will also affect food waste collections because they are collected at the same time as garden waste.

West Berkshire Council's Superfast Berkshire Broadband Team announces new scheme
West Berkshire
11
January 2021
We would like to make you aware government funding is available to help people living in rural areas get better broadband. There are two schemes currently available, Rural Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme and Universal Service Obligation.
Rural Gigabit Voucher Scheme
Up to £1,500 per home and up to £3,500 for each small to medium size business (SME) is available to support the costs of installing gigabit-capable broadband. Funding is provided through the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme. Gigabit-capable broadband offers the fastest and most reliable speeds available – of up to 1000Mbps or 1Gbps. Final speeds depend on the package purchased, but the aim is to provide enough capacity for now and for the future.
To qualify for the scheme, you must live in a rural area, be unable to get broadband speeds of 100Mbps or more and apply as a group of two or more premises.
Check your eligibility for the scheme by completing the postcode check at www.gigabitvoucher.culture.gov.uk and then follow our simple step-by-step guide located on our website www.superfastberkshire.org.uk
Universal Service Obligation
If you’re receiving 10Mbps or less, you may be eligible for the Universal Service Scheme. For more details and to check your postcode for eligibility go to www.bt.com/broadband/USO
