Food waste recycling for flats and maisonettes

From 1 April 2026 we are introducing food waste recycling to some flats and maisonettes in the borough.

This new service supports new national recycling requirements, and will help to:

  • improve our recycling rate
  • reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and other disposal sites
  • recycle your food waste into useful products such as biogas and fertiliser.

If your home is included in the food waste recycling scheme you will receive a leaflet and new food waste caddys before it begins.

We will update this page with more information over the next few months.
