Acumen has assigned two additional compactor trucks for the new weekly collections, which will join seven other vehicles at other times for regular kerbside collections.

The vehicles collect a range of waste including plastic bottles, paper, glass and metals, as well as textiles and food waste. All of it taken for sorting to Acumen's waste transfer station in Burslem.
