Herefordshire Council has this afternoon approved plans for a new waste and recycling collections model that will come into force from 2023.
The new model includes a new weekly food collection service and two weekly garden waste collection service.
The Council said that it will support residents to increase recycling by adopting the new waste collection model as outlined in the report )Decision – Waste Management Review – Waste Collection – Herefordshire Council) with a view to being fully operational in November 2023. This includes:
a.     The introduction of a new two weekly garden waste collection service;
b.    The introduction of a new weekly food collection service;
c.     The adoption of a twin stream recycling service to enable residents to further segregate recyclable materials and;
d.    To adopt a three weekly residual collection model.
Local residents had shared concerns about residual waste being collected every three weeks, but it’s hoped that the new weekly food collection service will minimise the amount of waste that each household collects.
