This is a perfect example of the Circular Economy at work.
Householders are asked to bring their own way of collecting the loose compost, either using bags or containers. Compost will be available while stocks last. Staff will be on site to assist and give advice on food waste recycling and a limited number of Food Waste Recycling Starter Packs will be available to householders. Starter packs include a Food Waste caddy, a roll of compostable liners and information on what food waste can be recycled.
The focus of this year’s campaign is to reduce contamination in the food waste bin, items such as foil, glass and plastic should not find their way into the food waste bin. This helps to prevent contamination at the compost and anaerobic digestion facilities leading to higher quality material for recycling.
National Food Waste Recycling Week which runs from the 1st June until the 9th June 2025 is the national campaign from MyWaste to encourage people to recycle their food waste. This campaign will provide practical advice, with easy to follow hints and tips to encourage everyone to recycle more of their food waste.
