When food waste collections start in Rossendale, there will be some temporary adjustments to the existing recycling services. Specifically, until food waste collections officially begin on the week of 6th April 2026, any food waste should continue to go in your green general waste bin instead of the new food waste caddy.
Here's a quick summary of the key points:
| Service Change | Details |
|---|---|
| Food Waste Caddy Availability | Caddies delivered to households from February 2026 |
| Food Waste Collection Start Date | Week commencing 6th April 2026 |
| Use of Existing Green Bin | Until collections start, food waste should go in the green bin |
After the food waste service is up and running, you’ll be able to dispose of food waste weekly in the new caddy. Just make sure not to mix it with other recyclables until the new service begins. For more details, you can visit Rossendale's food waste page.
