It was one of two options presented; the other was to mix the food waste with garden waste in the brown bin for weekly collections. ‌“Therefore in areas with little or no garden waste, residents may find a small caddy far more practical than a large garden waste bin they will seldom use. “Furthermore, a separate food waste collection service would offer additional benefits, such as free door step collection of small electrical items. Something that may be more useful to some households than an all year round garden waste collection.
