A FRESH round of recycling is coming to Ludgershall and the Collingbournes from 6 December as paper recycling is extended to the villages.

The extension of the kerbside paper collection service to an extra 13,000 homes in the Kennet district has been made possible by a grant of £170,000 from the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural affairs.

The money has been used to buy a specialist 'recycling collection' lorry and 13,000 recycling boxes which have been delivered to homes in the villages.

The boxes, which resemble small coffins, can hold 55 litres and will be collected every fortnight starting on 6 December.
