1. Food waste collections
Food waste collections take place every week. Find out when your bin is collected as it may not be on the same day as your other bins.
Separating your food waste from your rubbish is one of the simplest ways to make a real difference.
- Better for the environment – food waste can be recycled into renewable energy and soil improver.
- Reduces disposal costs – treating food waste separately reduces the public costs associated with disposal through Energy from Waste.
- Cleaner bins at home – weekly collections mean less food sitting in your kitchen bin and then in your rubbish bin for two weeks.
