Food waste recycling for council-owned blocks of flats
Following a successful trial, we're installing new food waste recycling units in communal bin areas at all council-owned blocks of flats.
Residents living at the developments will automatically be signed up to the service (so there's no need to register) and we will contact households by letter, with details of when food waste collections are coming and a leaflet explaining how to use the service. After that, our recycling officers will deliver a food waste recycling kit to each household.
We are also working with developers and managing agents on private developments, to advise them about our food waste recycling service and encourage them to adopt it across their schemes.
We are currently reviewing food waste and dry mixed recycling services for flats above shops in line with simpler recycling guidelines.
