Food Waste Collection Expansion

Decision Maker: Director of Place Management

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Deliver the purchase of food waste containers for the roll out of food waste collections to all properties within the BANES area. From 31st March 2026 the Council is required to provide food waste collections to all properties within the area. Whilst food waste recycling has been introduced to the majority of residents there are still a small number of properties within the city centre that need a collections service established.

Decision:

To fully approve £9,148 of capital budget, fully funded by Government Grant

Alternative options considered:

No other options were considered as we have a statuary requirement to deliver the project, as part of the work in 2024 the most appropriate method of service either doorstep of communal collection points will be identified for each location. Both of these options are expansions to the existing service.
