Recycling and rubbish container guide
Which containers to use for your recycling and rubbish.
Food waste recycling containers
Houses and converted flats
If you live in a house we'll provide you with:
- a small kitchen caddy to store food waste in your kitchen
- a secure outdoor food waste bin to transfer food waste into every few days.
We provide the same service to some but not all converted flats.
Estates and blocks of flats
If you live on an estate or in a block of flats, we'll provide you with:
- a small kitchen caddy to store food waste in your kitchen
- a communal food waste recycling bin to transfer the food waste into.
The quickest and easiest way to request containers is by logging into or signing up for a My eAccount
Compostable liners for your kitchen caddy are available from the local library.
Flats above shops or other commercial premises
Unfortunately, we can't provide a food waste recycling service if you live in flats above shops.
