Food Waste Collection

Blaenau Gwent Council offers a weekly food waste collection service. We have provided all residents with a 5 litre Caddy to keep in your kitchen and a 23 litre caddy to be stored outside.
  
Once your small caddy becomes full, empty it into the larger caddy outside.

You can put all your cooked and uncooked food in the caddies provided.

We will accept:

 Fruit & Vegetables
 Meat, Fish & Bones
 Cake, Biscuits, Bread & Cereal
 Teabags, Tea Leaves & Coffee Grounds
 Beans, Nuts, Seeds & Pulses
 Pasta & Rice
 Cheese, Eggs & Egg Shells
 Yoghurts
 All Peelings

We can not accept:

× Cardboard Packaging
× Metal
× Glass
× Plastic
× Carrier Bags
× Paper (unless it is used to line your caddy)
× Any other general household waste.


If you participate in our Food Waste Collection regularly then you will be given a FREE compostable liner to put into your large caddy as a thank you for using the service.


Please remember to:

Line food waste bin with either newspaper or compostable liner
Please put out food waste by 7am on your collection day
