Running out of compostable liners for your caddy? Please see question 19 below for a list of local stockists and online/mail order suppliers.
In October 2010, we introduced weekly food waste recycling collections to all households who have access to the weekly green box recycling collection. This followed requests from residents and will help to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill.
Food waste in landfill sites creates damaging methane gas which contributes to climate change, and as the cost of sending waste to landfill is increasing each year, we need to recycle as much of our waste as we can.
You can now recycle all your raw and cooked food waste, including scrapings from your plate, in your two new food waste containers. By using the lockable outside food waste bin, you should find the new service cleaner and more hygienic, particularly if you find your black sacks often ripped open by birds or animals.
