Councils across the Liverpool City Region will be launching a new weekly household food waste collection service from Spring 2026!
This initiative is a significant step towards lowering our carbon footprint and creating valuable biogas for energy use. By separating your food waste, residents will be playing a vital role in building a more sustainable future for our community. This new service makes it easier than ever to dispose of food scraps responsibly, ensuring they’re turned into something beneficial rather than ending up in general waste.
We understand you may have questions about what can and can’t be included, how to store your food waste, and the collection schedule. To help you get started, we’ve compiled a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions. You’ll find all the information you need there for the time being, including the types of food waste accepted.
Please take a moment to review the FAQ’s to ensure a smooth transition to this new service. More information about specific collection dates and food waste containers will be announced in the near future, so please keep your eyes open for updates.
We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to making our region greener!
