Recycling and Refuse

There are recycling bins for glass [clear, brown, and green], paper, and cans to be found at the village hall. The parish benefits by approximately £3,300 per annum from the income. Recently added is a bin for good quality used clothes and shoes. This is for the benefit of the Salvation Army

At Pluckley Thorne there is a larger waste paper skip. This also takes cardboard. Income from this goes to Riding for the Disabled.

There are no other facilities for recycling in the village and residents are requested to take all other items to the Brunswick Road Civic Amenity Site in Ashford. This includes garden waste - the parish council constantly receive complaints from farmers about households throwing their garden waste (pruning, weeding, grass cutting, etc.) over their fences on to farmland.

Day-to-day household waste is collected on Thursdays in Pluckley. Residents should make sure that their refuse is put out by 7am. Ashford Borough Council has facilities for collecting larger items of refuse and a small charge is made for this.
