A new countywide rubbish collection service is set to go ahead - with all seven councils in the Dorset Waste Partnership now signed up.

The new standardised service will replace the current twelve different ones in phases - and it's hoped it'll save two million pounds, and allow more recycling at the kerbside.

Christchurch and part of East Dorset will be first to make the switch - with Bournemouth and Poole joining by 2014-15.
