Free food caddy liners

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
Oxfordshire County Council are offering free rolls of food caddy liners to residents during December, through their Oxfordshire Recycling partnership with all Oxfordshire councils. Many households buy and eat more food over the festive period, and because of this, the amount of food waste collected goes up. Remember that food waste is not just wasted food, it also includes the inedible parts of the food we buy - peelings and bones as well as things like tea bags and coffee grounds. At this time of year households often have more sprout peelings, turkey bones and potato peelings to recycle. If you can't home-compost your food waste, recycling it using the food waste collection service is the best thing to do with it. Collect a free roll of caddy liners from any Oxfordshire Library in December (while stocks last!) ...
