Food Waste Bins - What You Need To Know

By the end of March 2026, all households will receive a 7-litre grey indoor caddy and an external 23-litre grey food waste bin for free.

Flats with communal bins will receive a small (7-litre) food waste kitchen caddy which each resident should empty into the larger (240 litre) outdoor communal food waste bin. The communal food waste bin will be emptied weekly by the collection crews.


From the week commencing 30 March 2026 we will collect your food waste every week on the same day as your normal waste and recycling collections. Please put your outdoor food waste recycling bin, with the handle in the locked position, at the edge of your property with your other waste or recycling.

Separate vehicles will collect your food waste caddy - this may take place at different times to other collections.


While you are not required to use liners, you can use either compostable or non-compostable liners within your indoor caddy. Please note that we will not be providing you with liners. 


You can place any type of food inside the 7-litre indoor caddy. 

This includes raw meat, cooked meat and bones, fish, cooked fish and bones, gristle, dairy products, cheese and eggs, teabags and coffee grounds, rice, pasta and beans, baked good (such as bread, cakes and pastries), raw vegetables, cooked vegetables, whole fruit and peelings and pet food.  

 

 

Please do not put any of the following materials in your food waste caddy:

  • Liquids such as milk, oil or fat

  • Plastic film or packaging

  • Garden waste

  • Pet waste (bedding, litter, faeces)
