Nobody wants uninvited dinner guests.

Your outdoor food waste bin has a lockable lid to help keep food waste secure and reduce smells that may attract foxes or other pests. If lids are closed properly and food waste is placed in the food waste bin, there should be no extra attraction for vermin.

Food waste is collected every week, helping to keep things fresh and avoid lingering smells, especially during warmer weather.
A few simple habits can also help keep pests away:
- Keep bin and caddy lids closed properly
- Put all food waste into your lockable food waste bin
- Wrap particularly smelly food waste in newspaper or liners before putting it in the caddy
- Do not leave food waste uncovered indoors
- Keep bins out of direct sunlight where possible
- Give your bins and caddies a regular clean with hot water or disinfectant

Follow these tips and your bins should stay pest free and smelling fresher!

Yes, you can! Your food waste does not need to be bagged or lined before going into the outdoor food waste bin.

If you prefer, you can use liners, kitchen paper, or old newspaper to line your kitchen caddy, especially as this can help soak up liquids and make it easier to empty.
But if you would rather put your food waste in loose, that is absolutely fine too.

The World Cup is kicking off, and so is our Summer of Sport!

Whether you are watching from the sofa, hosting friends or ordering a match-day takeaway, make recycling part of your game plan.

Empty your cans and bottles. Give recyclable containers a quick rinse. Let them dry and place them loose in your recycling bin.

Remember, keep your recycling clean, dry, and loose.

A big thank you to the 99% of last years survey respondents who believe recycling is important - we couldn't agree more!

However, even though many of us value recycling, we often overlook chances to do so at home.
