Households taking part have two caddies – a small one for indoors and a larger one for outside, which they can use for all types of food waste.It is hoped, if the trial is successful, the scheme will be rolled out across the borough.
Gurcharan Singh Manku, lead member for environmental services, said 40% of the contents of a normal refuse bin was food waste. “Since the normal bin collections went to alternate weeks, residents have been clamouring for weekly food waste collections; to not only cut down on the amount of waste that goes into their grey bins but also issues with smells, maggots and other pests, particularly in hot weather," he said.
“With this trial, we will be able to see just how a food waste collection could work across the whole borough." The trial is taking place in parts of Britwell, Chalvey and Langley, as well as Diamond Road Estate and Colnbrook.Home blocked by scaffolding after repair delay
