New food waste recycling arrangements

The Shropshire Newsroom this week has announced a new scheme to encourage food recycling in North Shropshire. On this page they state:

Residents in north Shropshire will find it even easier to recycle more, thanks to a new recycling initiative being rolled out by Shropshire Council and their waste contractor Veolia.
Residents who live in the former North Shropshire District Council area can already add all types of food waste to their garden waste, as it all gets treated in an in-vessel composting facility which is designed to treat both types of waste to turn it into compost.
To encourage more residents to join in the service, all households in north Shropshire are being provided with a kitchen caddy. The caddies, which will start to be delivered to households from Monday 5 November 2012, come with a starter pack of special compostable liners to make it easy for residents to separate food waste in the kitchen. An information leaflet explaining everything about the service will also be provided.
The aim is that people will use the new caddies to collect up all their kitchen food waste including peelings, tea bags and leftovers to keep it separate from the other rubbish which goes in the black bins. The rubbish in the black bins is sent to landfill, so by putting food waste in the garden waste bins, residents are recycling more.
