♻️ Food waste recycling starts here!

It’s a huge job so Cllr Walker came to see what happens behind the scenes.

The first food waste caddies, liners and outdoor bins have now been delivered, with almost 25,000 households ready to begin recycling their food waste. Weekly collections start next week.

More bins will be delivered across the district over the coming months. There's no need to contact us – we'll deliver everything you need straight to your door.

Please be aware that all 5 of our Household Waste Recycling Centres will be closed on Bank Holiday Monday 31 August and will reopen on Tuesday 1 September.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Ever wondered how gully cleaning is done? 💧

Join our crew as they travel across the district clearing gullies and helping keep water flowing away from our roads.

With rain forecast in the coming weeks, this work plays an important role in reducing the risk of standing water and localised flooding.

If you spot a blocked gully near you, please report it to us so the team can investigate.
