What happens to your food and garden waste?<br />
Your food and garden waste is taken to a special processing plant where<br />
it is recycled into compost which is used in community spaces, parks and<br />
gardens and community gardens.<br />
By recycling your food waste you will reduce the amount of food in<br />
landfill sites. Rotting food in landfill produces methane gas which<br />
contributes to climate change and, as the cost of sending food waste<br />
to landfill is increasing, it will save you and the council area money that<br />
could be used for local facilities, events and services.<br />
When it is full tie the compostable bag and put it in your Brown<br />
wheelie bin.<br />
Leave your <strong>brown</strong> wheelie bin out for kerbside collection<br />
every fortnight.<br />
No Thanks!<br />
Please do not put<br />
any of these materials<br />
in your caddy:<br />
Please remember -<br />
Leave your <strong>brown</strong> wheelie bin out for<br />
kerbside collection every fortnight.<br />
