report this online<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n Residents are being asked to put a caddy liner into the 5-litre caddy and then add their food waste.\n<\/p>\n
\n Once their 5-litre caddy is full, they should tie the liner and put this into their 23-litre outdoor caddy.\n<\/p>\n
\n The 23-litre caddy is put outside, like other bins, for collection.\n<\/p>\n
\n The council confirmed more staff are being recruited for this service \u2013 with a recruitment process for staff to \u2018help support and deliver\u2019 this new service ongoing.\n<\/p>\n
\n During his visit to Warrington last Thursday, minister for energy consumers Martin McCluskey said: \u201cI think everyone\u2019s got a role to play, both in terms of decarbonisation but also in terms of looking after our environment.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThese kind of simple changes that councils can make \u2013 whether it\u2019s introducing better recycling schemes, food waste recycling \u2013 they really do make a big, big difference at very low impact for residents and homeowners.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI\u2019ve seen it my own constituency, I\u2019ve seen it in other parts of the country as well, the difference it can actually make.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI think people want that choice now as well, they want to be able to recycle, they want to be able to leave the least impact on the environment that they possibly can, so it\u2019s great that they\u2019re doing that here in Warrington.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The council has been asked if it confident the town\u2019s food waste collection service will have a significant positive impact.\n<\/p>\n
\n A spokesman said: \u201cThis is a national initiative required by the Government, and we\u2019ve been working hard to make it a success. We carried out extensive consultation, with around 1,000 residents taking part.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe majority of feedback was positive, showing that people are enthusiastic about the service. This gives us confidence that our new food waste service will be a success for Warrington.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cRecycling food waste will have a big impact on Warrington as it will help us to reduce our environmental impact, increase our recycling rates and produce energy. It will also help us save money to help protect essential council services by reducing the amount of residual waste we collect, which costs more to dispose of.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new food waste collection service is set to start in Warrington on March 31.
