Watford Waste & Recycling Service Change
New food waste collection service
How does it work?
To encourage you to recycle all of your food waste, you have received a new brown food bin (23 litres) along with a free roll of 52 compostable liners for your kitchen caddy (or suitable container with a lid).
This new bin has a lockable handle and is slightly larger than your kitchen caddy (but a lot smaller than your other bins).
Recycling food waste reduces smells and frees up space in your black bin.
Follow these steps:
-
Line your kitchen caddy with a compostable liner (make sure it has the Seedling logo)
-
Put all of your leftover, mouldy or out of date food into your kitchen caddy
-
When your caddy is full, tie the liner and put it in your brown food bin (two/three times a week)
-
Keep the lid of your brown food bin locked
-
Your brown food bin will be collected weekly
-
Leave your brown food bin at your front property boundary by 6am on your collection day
-
Return your bin to the inside of your property boundary within 24 hours of collection
