In Rossendale, separate rules for food waste collections are being introduced due to new legal requirements. Starting from April 2026, all households will need to separate food waste for weekly collection.
Here's a summary of the upcoming changes:
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| February 2026 | Households receive kitchen and kerbside caddies, liners, and information. |
| Week commencing 6 April 2026 | Weekly food waste collections begin. |
| May 2026 | Delivery of caddies in areas served by smaller collection vehicles. |
| June 2026 | Start of food waste collections in those areas. |
It's important to store your food waste caddies until collections start in April 2026, as no collections will take place before this date. To learn more about these changes, you can visit the food waste information page.
