Clear recycling and food waste recycling bags are no longer available to order online. This is to meet the high demand for bags at distribution points and allow the Council to focus resources on the most popular method for residents to collect recycling bags. This also contributes towards reducing the Council’s carbon footprint.
The Council has improved the strength of the small food waste recycling bag making them less likely to split and break. The large food bags will therefore be phased out from April 2023. The one bag for food waste will make food recycling easier plus it also helps save the Council around £0.5M per year. Food bags are still free and can be collected from local distribution points.
