Tower Hamlets
Yay! Tower Hamlets Council collects food waste for recycling into energy.
Does the council collect food waste from houses, and flats in converted houses?
Only a small number of flats in the borough receive a food waste collection. Check to see if your block has a collection: https://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/lgnl/environment_and_waste/recycling_and_waste/recycling_and_waste_at_home/food_waste_collections.aspx
Does the council collect from purpose-built flats, and flats on estates?
No.
What about flats above shops?
No.
Can I get a caddy from the council?
Yes – the council provides both internal kitchen caddies and external (larger). Order replacements by contacting streetline@towerhamlets.gov.uk
Do I need to use liners? And what kind?
Yes – please only use newspaper to line your caddy, or compostable starch liners, not plastic bags or biodegradable bags.
Where can I find more information about my council food waste recycling service?
