People in north east Cornwall will be asked to add food waste to their recycling efforts
People in north east Cornwall will be asked to recycle food waste from Mondaynew bin collection systemCarol Mould, who is in charge of waste and recycling for Cornwall Council, said the council had expected "some bumps in the road", but was pleased with progress given the "size of the task"., which aims to reduce the amount of non-recyclable rubbish produced in the county.
Esther O'Bearagh, waste management team leader, said residents should check the council's calendars to find out when their collections would be and what to put out, including food waste. She said some residents were taken "by surprise" by changes in collection times, as well as changes to days. Mrs O'Bearagh said: "If you're used to having your rubbish collected maybe at nine thirty it might be at seven o'clock or it might be at four o'clock - so people just need to be aware that the whole thing is changing."
The new bin system has already been introduced in three areas of the county, with collections due to start next March in the final area - which includes Camborne and Redruth, Falmouth and Penryn, and Truro.
