Recycle Your Food Waste

Up until now food waste has gone directly into your black bin, but residents are now able to recycle food waste by putting it into your brown bin. Each household will have received a kitchen caddy, a supply of bio-degradable liners and a leaflet explaining how the scheme works.

 

 

 

 

 

How Does It Work?

Just put your waste food into the caddies and when full tie up the liner and put it into your brown bin along with your garden waste. Garden and food waste will be recycled into compost.

 

Food Waste Liners/Red Tags

Every household in the borough should have received a reusable red tag to request more food waste liners. When you need more liners please attach this to the handle of your brown bin on your next collection day and the crew will leave you more bags. Please remember to remove the tag and reuse it again when you need more liners. If you have not received a red tag email cleansing@newtownabbey.gov.uk

 

Liners can be collected from the following Council sites: Valley Leisure Centre, Ballyearl Arts & Leisure Centre, Sixmile Leisure Centre, Ballyclare Town Hall and Mossley Mill.
