Almost a quarter of English local authorities will miss an official deadline to introduce weekly food waste collections to all homes, reports @BBCNews. As part of the Simpler Recycling legislation, every household in England will get separate weekly food waste collections, with 31 March 2026 set as the initial deadline for councils to deliver the service. But 70 councils told the BBC they won't meet that deadline, instead aiming to introduce food waste recycling at a later date. Check when your council will start collecting food waste separately: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpv8… Separate food waste collections offer a number of environmental benefits — from keeping recyclables clean, to producing electricity through anaerobic digestion and reducing emissions that come from food rotting in landfill — but it could also have financial benefits for families. Each year in the UK 4.7 million tonnes of food is thrown away that could have been eaten. That's £17 billion wasted on food that is thrown away — an average of £1,000 a year for a household of four people. Separating food waste could help reduce the amount of food thrown away: "If you are collecting your food in a caddy, you really get to see firsthand what you're throwing away. I think that can really prompt some rethinking." Rosemary Brotchie, Senior Food Waste Specialist. By using our precious resources more intelligently we can create a world with higher standards of living — tackling climate change, protecting nature, and reducing inequality. #FoodWaste #SimplerRecycling #LocalAuthorities #LAs #Councils #FoodCaddies #FoodWasteCollections #Recycling #TransformFood #CircularEconomy #CircularLiving
