Food waste caddy delivery schedule for West Suffolk
Residents across West Suffolk will now begin receiving their food waste caddies in preparation for the launch of the new Better Recycling service in June.
Around 80,000 caddy sets need to be delivered to households across West Suffolk. Therefore, the deliveries are being done in stages over the next few months.
Please store your kitchen and outside caddies safely, number or name your outside caddy, and do not use it before the new service starts in June. A detailed information pack and collection calendar will be sent to households in May with more guidance and advice.
Those properties deemed to need an adapted service, like flats with communal bins or terraced housing without a front garden, will be provided with alternative bins which will be delivered to a different schedule but before the new scheme starts in June.
