Even after you’ve made turkey sandwiches, turkey curry and turkey soup, there’s usually still some bones at least left – so remember to put them in your food waste recycling caddy.

Any cooked or uncooked food can be placed in the bin for recycling, and bins are collected every week.

All food waste is recycled to produce liquid fertiliser and renewable power. We all have more waste than normal over the festive period, so please place it in the bin – otherwise it goes to landfill, which costs more and is bad for the environment.

Here’s a reminder of what can be put in your food waste caddy:

• Raw and cooked meat and fish, including fat, skin and bones
• Fruit and vegetables, including cores and peelings
• Bread, cakes and pastries
• Egg shells
• Pet food, wet and dry
• Rice, pasta or beans, and
• Tea bags and coffee grounds.

If you have lost your food caddy or bin, we’ll replace them free of charge. Call 01698 403110.
