Thousands of homes have been involved
A trial of food waste collections at more than 3,000 homes in Nottingham has so far been met with support from residents, the city council says.All local authorities will be required to collect food waste from homes separately by April 2025 under Government law, and so the council is testing how best it can achieve this.It comes as part of the council’s new waste strategy, which sets out how waste will be collected to improve recycling rates as it aims to become carbon neutral by 2028.
The city’s recycling rate in 2019 was 27 per cent, however by October 2022 it had fallen to 23.9 per cent. Twin-stream will mean residents will get a container for food waste, collected every week, as well as a container for paper and card and a bin for their remaining recycling including glass, plastic and cartons.Multi-stream will mean residents will get multiple containers for food waste, paper and card, as well as separate containers for each recycling material such as glass and plastic.However general waste bin sizes would be reduced as a result.
