Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council\u2019s cabinet member for residents\u2019 services and housing Laura James (Independent Forum, Norden) said: \u201cResidents have told us they want to recycle more.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am delighted we are now introducing this new service which will not only boost the borough\u2019s recycling rates but will also reduce the amount thrown away in our rubbish bins.<\/p>\n
\u201cFood waste recycling is a great opportunity for people to see just how much food they might be wasting.<\/p>\n
\u201cCutting down on avoidable waste like out-of-date food or uneaten leftovers, could help to save people money while also reducing their impact on the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
