Food Waste Collections
Each household has been issued with two food caddies - a small food waste caddy for you to keep on your worktop or under the sink and a larger outside caddy to use for collection. Both caddies have locking handles to prevent spills and smells and protect the contents from vermin.
The contents from the small caddy should be emptied into the large outside caddy - which should be placed at the kerbside for weekly collection.
All containers need to be ready at the kerbside by 7am on your scheduled collection day.
How to order
If you would like new or replacement caddies please order online.
