Cornwall Council Cracks Down on Overfilled Bins

Cornwall residents using the new rubbish collection service must ensure all waste fits inside their wheelie bin or protective sack with the lid closed, as Cornwall Council has confirmed it will not collect any extra rubbish left on top or beside bins.

♻️ Make Space by Recycling

To avoid waste being left behind, residents are encouraged to recycle as much as possible and separate food waste to free up space in their rubbish bins. Cornwall Council has provided guidance on what can be recycled, which can be found here.

🍎 Food Waste Matters

The council has also introduced a dedicated food waste collection service, making it easier to divert scraps from general rubbish. Full details on how to use the new food waste caddy are available here.

🌍 Reduce Waste at Home

For those looking to cut down on the amount of rubbish they produce, Cornwall Council has additional advice on waste reduction, which can be accessed here.

With the new collection system in place, households will need to follow the rules carefully to ensure their waste is collected. Recycling and food waste separation will play a key role in keeping bins from overflowing.
