From 31 March 2026, all councils in England are legally required to provide separate weekly food waste collections under the Environment Act 2021 and the Government’s Simpler Recycling regulations.  This means Rother District Council must deliver a food waste container to every eligible household.  You will be told soon when to start using the bin.  Receiving the container does not place any obligation on you to participate in the service, but Rother are required by law to ensure it is available to all households.

We hope you participate, but if for any reason you are not going to use either your small kitchen food caddy or larger outside food bin please contact the parish office and we will keep them as spares.
