Food waste

Weekly Food Waste Collections

Food waste collections started on 29 June. You can find out when your collection is scheduled using our 'Find your bin day' calendar online.

We're still working on some of the functionality of the new calendar, so for now please report any missed collections online via the council s website.

If you haven't receive your caddy, or it arrives damaged please get in touch and let us know using this link.
