Overview
The Council would like to hear from relevant service providers in relation to food waste collection services provision from April 2028 onwards. The Council is open to how this new provision could be delivered.
The indicative specification is formed from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA) Simpler Recycling reform, which mandated in legislation (Environment Act 2021) that waste collection authorities (WCA) will be required to provide weekly food waste collections to all households. Melton Borough Council is a waste collection authority and therefore must comply with DEFRAs requirements.
DEFRA have not officially advised on consequences to local authorities if they do not provide weekly food waste collections to households. It should be noted that this is a revised project following the Councils decision to delay implementation until April 2028.
Regulations cited
- Environment Act 2021
