Food waste is collected from the food waste bin weekly. Food waste can be loose, wrapped in paper or you can line the bin with plastic or compostable bags .
Food waste collected from households in the district is taken to an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facility in Coleshill, North Warwickshire.
Anaerobic digestion is the process by which organic matter such as food waste is broken down to produce biogas and biofertilizer. This process happens in the absence of oxygen in a sealed oxygen-free tank call an anaerobic digester.
You may wish to consider composting at home. Discounted compost bins are available from Warwickshire County Council.
