Northampton residents encouraged to recycle their food waste
Posted: Thu, 16 May 2019 10:03 by Sally Willis
Residents are being encouraged to use up or recycle their leftover food to help reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill.
Northampton Borough Council and Veolia are teaming up to promote different ways of using up food leftovers and food recycling services, which includes weekly collections. More »
As part of the ongoing campaign, residents are being urged to freeze items for use on another day or to cook up new recipes to use up the leftovers. Ideas for new recipes can be gained from www.lovefoodhatewaste.com , which regularly posts new dish ideas such as potato peel soup, lemon chicken slow cooker tagine and baked stuffed apples.
Weekly food waste collections are available for anyone who still has food waste to dispose of. If you don't have a small inside kitchen caddy or a larger outside caddy, they can be ordered at http://ow.ly/f2sN30owhUC.
Kitchen caddies can be used to recycle leftover, mouldy or out-of-date food, including plate scrapings, mouldy bread, tea bags and coffee grounds and vegetable peelings and fruit rinds.
Food waste caddies are collected once a week, if presented with your other bins, on your scheduled collection day.
As an added incentive, residents can sign up to take part in the 'In to Win' scheme at www.feedyourcaddy.co.uk, which can see them win prizes on a monthly basis by presenting their food waste caddy weekly.
Once collected, food waste is taken to a special facility that turns the waste into green energy and a compost like material called biofertiliser. This material is then spread on local farmland and the gas produced in the process is used for heat and power.
Councillor Mike Hallam, Cabinet member for environment, said: "Lots of residents are always regularly recycling their food waste but there are still pockets in the town that don't, and we want to change that.
"As well as promoting different ways to use up food and getting more residents signed up to the food recycling service, we will be out and about, chatting to people to find out if there are any reasons why they don't recycle their food waste and how we can help improve this."
Keith McGurk, Regional Director for Veolia, said: "Residents are doing a great job of recycling their waste and we want to thank them for it. By promoting the food waste services in Northampton, we'd like to increase the number of residents who recycle their food waste. By taking a few minutes to put the right thing in the right bin, bag or box, it means that there is less waste sent to landfill which is great news for the environment." » Less
