Goverment on when the changes which will mean food waste being taken and every council having to provide the same service are being brought in
A massive change is coming for every household in England and their bin collections. Under the plans which are intended to improve rates of recycling there will be requirements councils have to meet - including food waste collections every week.
The government says a new, simpler common-sense approach to recycling means people across England will be able to recycle the same materials, whether at home, work or school, putting an end to confusion over what can and can’t be recycled in different parts of the country. But when is it all happening? Here we run down the exact dates and other key parts of the plan.
The government will require recyclable plastic film to be collected by 31 March 2027. In the lead up to this, front-of-store and postal takeback schemes will continue to be a route for collection.Waste collection authorities will be required to introduce weekly food waste collections to all households in England, including flats, by 31 March 2026.
Environment Minister Rebecca Pow said: “Our ambitious plans will help every household, business, school and hospital in the country to recycle more. We have listened to councils and come up with a system that will increase recycling in a way that does not clutter our pavements with numerous bins and smelly food waste collections for weeks, making recycling simpler and more effective.
