The next roll-out of weekly food waste collections in Hartlepool has been announced.
Hartlepool Borough Council is to start collecting waste from a further 85 streets from Thursday 26 March - the twelfth expansion of the service since it was launched in November last year.
The additional properties will each receive two caddies, a small one for inside use and a larger one for outside into which the contents of the smaller caddy should be emptied. These are being delivered this week and next.
Residents should present their large caddies alongside their standard refuse/recycling bins on their usual collection day. Different vehicles are used to empty caddies and standard bins, so both should be put out by 7.30am to ensure collection.
Councils in England must collect food waste from all homes in their area on a weekly basis following changes to the law. This is part of the Government’s plan to improve recycling rates and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
