Households in Sherborne and surrounding villages (pdf, 4Mb) (opens in a new window)  have a kitchen caddy, kerbside food waste bin and instruction guide.

There are three simple steps to recycling your food waste:

1. Line your kitchen caddy with compostable liners or newspaper
2. Fill your caddy with food
3. Empty the caddy into your kerbside food bin which will be emptied on the same day as your normal rubbish collection

Households taking part in the new food waste collection service are now required to put out only two normal sized bin bags for collection per household, per week.

A handy video guide is available to explain the new food waste recycling collection scheme.

• Food waste recycling scheme FAQs

  We now collect food waste from households in Sherborne and surrounding villages. This service will help residents to recycle more and reduce the amount of waste taken to landfill.

• Application for an extra rubbish bag to be collected

  We will be collecting from each house no more rubbish each week than will fit into two rubbish bags, unless the householder has made a successful application to put out an extra rubbish bag. If you feel that two rubbish bags are not enough for your needs, you can make an application.

• Bin bag collection - two bags per household FAQs

  Households within the villages taking part in the new food waste recycling collection scheme, will have two bin bags collected from their homes from week beginning 26 April 2010.
