Weekly food waste recycling has now been introduced across North East Lincolnshire following a successful pilot.
The trial involved more than 5,000 households, with participants backing the move after reporting the collections were useful.
The scheme is part of the council’s wider recycling plans and has also created new local jobs. Residents are being supplied with indoor caddies and outdoor containers, while food waste is being collected weekly using a new fleet of vehicles.
The rollout aims to reduce landfill, increase recycling rates and give households a simple way to separate their food waste from general rubbish.
