A new food waste recycling service for Cheshire East residents will start in January 2020. From 6th January, people will start to receive a small green food caddy. This will enable food waste to be separated easily from the rest of everyday household waste.
Residents can start using their caddy as soon as they receive it. An initial supply of biodegradable liners will be provided with the caddy. However use of these is optional. Once the caddy is full the food waste goes directly into the garden waste bin along with garden waste, with or without a liner.
As a result of this new service, green garden waste bins will be collected every two weeks throughout the year, rather than there being a break in collections during the winter months which has happened over the last few years. From January, mixed food and garden waste will be taken to a special processing plant in Crewe, where it will be recycled into compost.
