Big boost for food recycling

Food waste trial 3_4 expansion_Cllr Barrett_Cllr Ashmore


All homes in Portsmouth are set for city-wide food waste recycling.

Around 55,000 homes are currently participating in the food waste trial, but the scheme will soon be extended to cover all of Portsmouth. By making the scheme city-wide it is estimated that over 5,000 tonnes of food waste will be recycled each year.

There's nothing for you to do just yet - we expect to start delivering caddies to the next wave of households to get food waste recycling later this year - but you can read more about the success of the trial so far, as well as tips on how you can reduce your food waste, on our website.
