Food Waste Collections<br />

It's simple to recycle your food waste - keep your caddy handy in the kitchen, add a<br />

compostable caddy liner and fill with food waste. When your caddy is full or after<br />

two-three days, tie the caddy liner and put it into your green bin (the same bin you<br />

use for your household garden waste).<br />

Compostable Liners<br />

Please only use compostable liners for your food waste. The kitchen caddies we<br />

have supplied are 7ltr and we recommend using 10ltr caddy liners. BioBag sell<br />

packs of compostable liners at a discounted rate for West Berkshire residents, or<br />

alternatively you can buy them at most major supermarkets.<br />

Wash hands and surfaces after handling food and store it away from heat with the lid<br />

closed.<br />

Refuse Collections<br />

Your black bin needs to be ready for the council to empty by 7am on your collection<br />

day. Any rubbish you put in your black bin goes straight to landfill or Energy from<br />

Waste (EfW). Please make sure you recycle and reduce as much as you can.<br />

To make sure you get a great service, please:
