St Saviour has become the latest parish to agree to introduce kerbside recycling from this autumn
Parishioners have voted through a scheme that will see their paper and cardboard and metal and plastic packaging picked up every fortnight with their household waste.
The Parish has budgeted £42,500 pounds for the scheme, which will run in partnership with the Parish of St Helier.
When it starts in October, it will mean three quarters of Jersey's parishes will offer doorstep recycling.
St Peter agreed collections last month.

It’s hoped to begin in October. Thrilled with this, well done everyone for helping us bring this forward ♻️
Campaigners are calling on the last four remaining parishes to follow:
Disruptive weather conditions cause fallen trees and floods in the Channel Islands
Luke Hart, whose father killed his family, speaks to Jersey about coercive control
Search for sponsors of Jersey Opera House seats
