CONFUSION plus a few customers showing bad temper at the temporary change should have ended by the beginning of December when all the skips at the Punchbowl civic amenity and recycling centre near Crediton went back in their usual places.

They had all been moved with the garden waste having to be hauled up steps to be thrown into a skip while the concrete bases for the skips and steps was relaid.

While most of the skips are as before, there is a slight change in what goes into which containers. If anyone is unsure as to what should go into which, please talk to the staff. Garden waste is back in its usual corner.

All beautifully smooth and tidy now, the final job is to put the signs for each skip up on a pole.

Staff thank those customers who took the temporary move in their stride and worked around any problems at this site near Crediton
