AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Mole Valley is among four Surrey areas covered by a new joint waste contract reported by the BBC in August 2026. Veolia would replace Amey for an initial seven years, with possible extensions taking the agreement to 21 years. Plans include bookable collections for small electrical items, batteries and textiles, changes to street-cleaning frequency and a customer service centre based in Surrey. Councillors raised concerns about possible collection-day changes and how residents would be told. The response was that changes would follow a review of rounds, with substantial advance notice.
