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:
