The date the new food waste recycling service will be rolled out in Coventry<\/a> has been announced.<\/p>\n

Coventry City Council<\/a> has revealed every household will receive a 23\u2011litre lockable outdoor food waste caddy over the summer, with deliveries starting this week.<\/p>\n

The new service will be starting from Monday 7 September. It is believed the scheme will help reduce waste, cut carbon emissions and turn leftover food into renewable energy and fertiliser for local farms.<\/p>\n

This caddy is designed to be kept inside or outside. It has a lockable lid which can be secured to help deter pests. Information about your collection day will be included when your caddy is delivered.<\/p>\n

The introduction of weekly food waste collections is part of the Government\u2019s Simpler Recycling requirements, which mean all councils must provide a separate weekly food waste service.<\/p>\n

Residents will be able to recycle most types of food waste \u2013 including plate scrapings, peelings, tea bags and pet food \u2013 by placing them directly into their outdoor caddy. Liquids, packaging and garden waste should not be placed in the caddy.<\/p>\n

Food waste will be collected weekly with your other bin collections, which will continue as normal.<\/p>\n

Cllr Patricia Heatherton, Cabinet Member for City Services, said: \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to be introducing weekly food waste collections for Coventry residents. This is a positive step that will help households recycle more, reduce the amount of waste going into general bins.<\/p>\n

\u201cFood waste makes up a significant proportion of what ends up in Coventry\u2019s rubbish bins. By separating it out, residents can help turn waste into something useful \u2013 from renewable energy to fertiliser for local farms. It really is recycling at its very best.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a simple change that will make a real difference for our environment and for future generations in Coventry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents will be able to find out more about the new service, including what can and can\u2019t go in the caddy and how food waste is processed, on the Council website.<\/p>\n
