Food waste recycling

Food waste recycling for flats

We are introducing food waste recycling for private housing blocks of flats and council-owned blocks of flats.

Residents will automatically be signed up to the service, so there's no need to register.

Households will recieve information about the service and the equipment needed to use the service.

Private developments

From mid-January, food waste collections are being extended to private housing blocks of flats.

Collections will start the week after residents receive a food waste caddy. 

Council-owned blocks of flats

We're currently installing food waste recycling units in communal bin areas at all council-owned blocks of flats.

Flats above shops

We are currently reviewing food waste and dry mixed recycling services for flats above shops in line with simpler recycling guidelines.
