target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winchester<\/a> City Council district in October, with all households set to receive the service by the end of March.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Winchester City Council says the new scheme will help cut emissions and divert waste from incineration.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Steve Cramoysan, councillor and cabinet member for recycling and public protection, said: &#8220;We know that Winchester district residents are highly motivated to recycle their waste.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;A recent \u2018Rethinking Recycling\u2019 survey showed that residents would welcome a household food waste recycling collection.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Food waste collected through the service will be taken to an anaerobic digestion plant, where it will be converted into renewable energy and fertiliser for farms.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The council estimates the scheme could cut carbon dioxide emissions by 1,900 tonnes a year \u2013 equivalent to driving 190 times around the world in a <a href=\"http:\/\/dailyecho.co.uk\/petrol_prices\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">petrol<\/a> car.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Councillor Cramoysan said: &#8220;Most of us are really careful not to waste food, but some waste is unavoidable.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;For example, peelings, chicken or fish bones, coffee grounds or tea bags.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;This new service will enable our district to recycle food waste into energy, reducing carbon emissions and going greener faster.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I encourage everyone to take part when their service starts.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Winchester City Council&#8217;s district incudes Whiteley, Knowle, Bishops Waltham among other areas.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a

crash near Cadnam<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Collections will take place weekly on residents\u2019 usual bin day.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Households will receive a small grey kitchen caddy, an outdoor bin with a locking handle, a starter roll of compostable <a href=\"http:\/\/dailyecho.co.uk\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">liners<\/a> and information on how to use the service up to three weeks before collections begin.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Communal properties will be given shared outdoor wheelie bins.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  To support the rollout, the council has purchased nine specialist food waste collection vehicles.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The vehicles are fuelled by hydrotreated vegetable oil instead of <a href=\"http:\/\/dailyecho.co.uk\/petrol_prices\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">diesel<\/a>, which the council says will reduce carbon emissions by up to 94 per cent.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Residents will soon receive updated bin calendars and a letter introducing the food waste collections.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Details of the rollout and start dates for each area will be available on the city council&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The phased
