What goes in you food waste caddy

Within the Tendring district we operate an alternate weekly collection for recycling.  We have green recycling boxes for plastic bottles, tins and cans and red recycling boxes for paper and cardboard.

Food waste is collected every week.  We have two sizes available; a small internal food caddy for use inside your home and a larger external food caddy to present for collection.

To ensure that your box is emptied, please place it just inside your front boundary by 7am on the day of collection, but no earlier than the night before.

What goes in your food waste caddy

You can purchase a roll of 52 food caddy bags from your local library for only £1.80.  Alternatively you can line your food caddy with newspaper and shredded paper.

To make sure you put the right box out in time for collection, take a look at our Rubbish and Recycling collections days form, which tells you when your boxes are due to be emptied.
