5 months after the successful launch of the service, Huntingdonshire District Council has launched a new film encouraging residents to make full use of their weekly food waste collection.
Food waste placed in your caddy is taken to an anaerobic digestion facility, where it is turned into local renewable energy and fertiliser for local farmland, rather than going to landfill, where it produces harmful methane.
Since the service launched on 30 March 2026, residents across the district have already diverted an impressive 1,500 tonnes from general waste (20 tonnes a day).
All cooked and uncooked food can go in the caddy, including plate scrapings, bones, tea bags, dairy and out-of-date food with the packaging removed. Caddies are collected every week.
