Food waste collection will boost the amount you will recycle and reduce the weight of your grey bin by up to a third.
When the service starts, you’ll be able to put your food waste, including fruit and vegetable peelings, plate scrapings, tea bags, eggshells and bones, into your caddy for collection. The food waste will then be turned into greener energy and fertiliser.
Before collections start, we will deliver to every household a free small indoor food waste caddy, a roll of 52 liners and an information leaflet. We will also deliver a larger lockable caddy to homes for outside, which our crews will collect from the kerbside each week.
Residents with communal waste bins will empty their small indoor food waste caddy into their shared food waste bin.
As we introduce the new service, we’ll continue to collect your grey waste bin weekly and your paper, card, empty tins, cans, aerosols plastic bottles and your glass recycling fortnightly.
