If non-allowed items are put in the food waste caddy, it can lead to contamination of the recycling stream. This not only puts your waste at risk of not being collected but could also result in penalties or additional costs for the council in managing contaminated waste.
Here's a quick overview of what should not go in your food waste collection caddy:
| Non-allowed Items |
|---|
| Packaging of any kind |
| Liquids |
| Plastic bags or plastic film |
| Household waste |
| Garden waste |
| Anything that is not food waste |
To ensure your food waste is collected without issues, make sure to follow these guidelines closely. For additional details, you can view more on Rossendale's food waste guidelines.
