This is part of a new rollout by Buckinghamshire Council to separate food waste recycling.
It comes after around a third of the rubbish in the county goes in general waste bins, which could have been recycled.
Commenting on the rollout, Ade Osibogun, Cabinet Member for Environment, Climate Change & Waste, said: “The roll‑out of food waste recycling to flats across the north of the county has been a great success, and extending the service to the south is an important next step.”
Each eligible flat will receive a free seven-litre kitchen caddy, a roll of liners and an information leaflet, while 140-litre brown communal food waste bins will be installed in bin stores and emptied weekly.
The expansion follows a successful introduction across the north of Buckinghamshire and will ensure more households can recycle food waste.
He continued: “If you live in a flat with communal waste collections in the south of the county, please look out for your kitchen caddies being delivered during February and March.
“You can also find out more about food waste recycling and how you can play your part in reducing waste and tackling climate change at buckinghamshire.gov.uk/food-waste.”
Recycled food waste is taken to an anaerobic digestion facility, where it is turned into renewable energy and fertiliser, helping reduce waste disposal costs, saving money for essential council services, and supporting the council’s climate and sustainability commitments.
