The majority of people in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole already receive food waste collections.<\/p>\n

A new service will cover about 70,000 remaining properties in Poole and 30,000 in Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

The service will start from 6 April, with food waste collected every week on the same day as general rubbish.<\/p>\n

Over the next few months, internal caddies and external food waste bins, along with instructions, will be delivered to each home ahead of the first scheduled collections.<\/p>\n

The update comes as part of the government reforms to recycling.<\/a><\/p>\n

Councillor Andy Hadley, cabinet member for sustainability and environment at BCP Council, said: “Our aim is to help everyone to recycle more. Every effort you make, big or small, makes a difference.<\/p>\n

“Around 30% of our household rubbish bin contents are food waste and separating this out cuts down on the amount of waste that ends up in landfill or other disposal sites – reducing greenhouse gas emissions which have a harmful impact on the environment.<\/p>\n

“Every bit of food waste recycled helps cut council spending, meaning more money can go towards services that benefit everyone in the community.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The majority of people in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole already receive food waste collections.
