To obtain a food waste caddy in Rossendale, all households will receive one starting from February 2026, in line with a new legal requirement for weekly food waste collection. The local council will provide a small 5-litre kitchen caddy for indoor use, along with a larger 23-litre kerbside caddy for outdoor use.
Here's a quick summary of what you will receive:
| Item | Size | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen caddy | 5 litres | For indoor food waste storage |
| Kerbside caddy | 23 litres | For outdoor food waste collection |
| Caddy liners | N/A | For keeping the kitchen caddy clean |
| Information leaflet | N/A | Instructions on food waste recycling |
Residents living in communal properties will receive similar caddies suitable for shared use. Keep an eye out for delivery details, and remember not to use the caddy until the collections start in April 2026. For more info, you can check the Rossendale food waste page.
