Important: Bin Collection Points for Tomorrow (Tuesday 13 October)

The VA office has received a large number of enquiries today from residents who have still not received their collection point maps in the post from Sevenoaks District Council and are understandably unsure where to present their bins tomorrow.

It appears that Sevenoaks District Council has begun directing residents to contact the VA office for this information. To help residents, here is the link to the collection point maps published on Sevenoaks District Council's website:
https://www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/downloads/download/1152/new_ash_green_wheelie_bin_collection_points

Sevenoaks District Council is asking residents to present their bins for collection, where practical and safe, within the boundary marked by the pink line. Unless you have received guidance from your RS, please use these maps to help with bin placement

We appreciate that there are significant practical difficulties with this instruction, particularly given the unique layout of New Ash Green and the lack of pavements in many areas. We ask residents to do the best they can while ensuring that roads are not obstructed.

The VA remains in discussions with Sevenoaks District Council regarding the practical difficulties these new collection arrangements present.

Important: Waste Collection Information for Tomorrow (Tuesday 13 October)

It has come to our attention that Sevenoaks District Council's website has been displaying incorrect information about which bins residents should put out for collection tomorrow.

Sevenoaks District Council has today provided the VA with a map, which residents should follow to confirm their collection arrangements.

🟤 Brown areas: General waste collection tomorrow.
🟢 Green areas: Recycling collection tomorrow.

Sevenoaks District Council has advised that the error on its website has now been corrected. Residents can also double-check their collection arrangements using the link below:
https://www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/info/20000/rubbish_and_recycling/902/find_your_waste_collection_day

Sevenoaks District Council has also informed the VA that it has failed to deliver all the new bins in time. They have asked those who have not yet received their new bins to use black bin liners or clear sacks in line with the map.

Please don't shoot the messenger! 😡

We have had some keys with a distinctive keyring handed into the office that were found at the Olivers Mill bus stop. If the owner can come to collect and identify the keyring, we will be happy to reunite them with the owner.

To support the rollout of new wheelie bin collections, garden waste sack collections will not take place from 12 to 16 October 2026.

Garden waste collections from wheelie bins will still take place this week.
Thank you for your understanding and we’re sorry for any inconvenience.

Wheelie bins: correcting the record

The Village Association is disappointed by the misleading posts made today by the Ash & New Ash Green District Councillors, the VA needs to correct the suggestion that the current situation is the result of a “lack of cooperation” by the Village Association.

The VA has consistently made clear that, as a largely volunteer-run organisation, it does not have the resources to design an address-by-address collection plan for approximately 2,500 homes. We have nevertheless worked extensively with SDC and the Residents’ Societies, provided local access information and proposed an alternative route-based solution to minimise the number of bins which will have to be left on the road creating a health and safety hazard. This alternative proposal was rejected by SDC. Our Ash & New Ash Green District Councillors are aware of this as they have been involved and copied into the emails.

At the SDC meeting on 4 March, Cllr Laura Manston said she would support the planning of collection points. On 18 May, Cllr Laura Manston confirmed that their offer to support the identification of collection points still stood.

More importantly, on 25 June, after SDC said that if the VA could not provide the detailed information the Council would determine the arrangements itself, Cllr Manston wrote:

“If the information isn’t provided by the VA, please allow Mark, Shani and I to coordinate the effort.”

SDC replied the following day describing this as “a fantastic idea”.

It is also worth noting that, in SDC’s most recent email of 21 September, they acknowledged the very late timetable:

“We had originally hoped to provide a longer interval between these communications, bin delivery and the commencement of collections. Unfortunately, the wider delivery programme means that the timescales are now somewhat tighter than anticipated.”

That is important context when residents are now being told that any difficulties are the result of a “lack of cooperation” by the VA!

It is therefore not accurate to suggest that the VA simply refused to cooperate and left residents without a plan.

To avoid any further misunderstanding, the VA will shortly publish the relevant correspondence between the VA and SDC on this matter, so residents can read the record and reach their own conclusions.

We have had a phone handed into the office.
If it is yours please come and collect although we will need to see that you can unlock it first.

Please be aware that the Post Office cash point has been removed ahead of the Post Office Closure on the 3rd October. We have written to The Link requesting that they review their assessment, and consider the VA proposal for a free to use ATM to be installed at the Village Association office.
