Food waste

Food waste

Organic food waste such as fruit/veg peelings, egg shells, tea bags & coffee grounds can be placed into a home compost bin.  Alternatively, please put all food waste, especially meat/dairy and cooked food in your black/grey bin.  

 

Please do not put food waste in your green bin – it can contaminate a whole load of recycling, which will all be rejected.  Please visit our #FoodSavvy pages to see how you can cut the amount of food you throw away.
