GEMINI Carnival will be out collecting paper and card in Ilminster this Saturday (December 31).

Residents in Ilminster have a choice of recycling collection for their paper and card on Saturday, and are being urged to make their choice clear.

On New Year’s Eve, both Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) and Gemini Carnival Club will be collecting paper and card.

To avoid confusion, Gemini and SWP are advising anyone wanting to donate paper and card to the club to put it out clearly labelled “Gemini”.

All recycling sites are on their usual schedules, including all of them closing for New Year’s Day on Sunday, January 1.

A SWP spokesperson said: “We will collect all materials from our containers as usual. Gemini will not be collecting any materials from our containers.

“Gemini is asking anyone wanting to donate to ensure their paper or card is clearly marked with the Gemini name and put it out separately from their SWP boxes.”
