10 THE NEW COUNTESTHORPE HERALD
DECEMBER 2024
NEW FOOD WASTE
COLLECTION PLANNED
A new food waste recycling system is set to be introduced in a Blaby District to generate renewable energy.
Each household will receive a small bin for waste including tea bags, vegetable peelings and left-overs and a larger bin for outside to store the food waste bags. Blaby District councillor Paul Hartshorn said the food waste, which would be collected weekly alongside regular rubbish collections, would be “processed into biogas and converted to electricity, with fertiliser as a by-product”.
Blaby District Council said the new system will be “rolled out in the future” in a bid to reduce food waste in landfills.
DETAILS TO BE ANNOUNCED
The authority said the move was part of the government’s “Simpler Recycling” plan - an initiative that means all councils in England must provide food waste collections by 31st March 2026.
The District Council added full details of the scheme have yet to be announced, but more information on the plans are set to be presented at a full council meeting on 19th November.
