Local bins and recycling news

AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.

Wyre began weekly food-waste collections on 13 April 2026, with caddies emptied on the usual bin day. The council is also funding free Five Dinners meal-planning memberships for residents, offering personalised shopping lists and recipes to help avoid wasting food in the first place. Councillor Simon Bridge said the combined approach would help households save money and turn discarded food into renewable energy. The rollout included kitchen and outdoor caddies and starter liners, with tailored containers considered for properties needing different arrangements. Collected food goes through anaerobic digestion to produce energy.
