Residents living in properties in Ludlow Town Centre who don't have space for a wheelie bin put their rubbish out in black bin bags - with them placed at three collection points. But councillor Andy Boddington said that Veolia, which collects waste for Shropshire Council and had previously collected plain black bin bags, suddenly stopped collecting bags without a council brand on, resulting in piles of uncollected bin bags being left out on the street for over a week. "It decided it would only collect Shropshire Council branded bags. "However, letters have recently been sent to all Ludlow town centre properties with sack collections to remind them of the policy. "Any change to the policy would require a public consultation and permission from Shropshire Council."
