Ealing

Yay! Ealing Council collects food waste for recycling into energy.

Does the council collect food waste from houses, and flats in converted houses?

Yes.

Does the council collect from purpose-built flats, and flats on estates?

The council provides a service to some flats around the borough, so check on the council website where you can put in your postcode to find out whether there’s a service from your estate.

What about flats above shops?

Generally not – but again, check on the council website.

Can I get a caddy from the council?

Yes – contact the council customer services team to order one on 020 8825 6000.

Do I need to use liners? And what kind?

Yes – please only use newspaper or compostable starch liners, not plastic bags or biodegradable bags.

Are the liners available for free?

No – but you can buy these from shops around Ealing.
