A major new bin collection in every household in Liverpool is to move a step closer next month.
00:05
From April 2026, the City Council will be tasked with providing weekly collections of food waste
00:11
to every home under its jurisdiction. After legislation was passed four years ago,
00:16
they are now just 10 months until the major change is adopted by every council in the country.
00:21
It comes as Liverpool was recorded as having the second worst recycling rates across the UK.
00:26
Now in a bid to get ready for the changes which it says could cost anywhere up to £3m. The
00:33
local authorities cabinet is to move forward to begin its procurement process for the required
00:38
vehicles and bins to undertake the collections. In November last year it was revealed how currently
00:43
around a third of what goes into our waste bin is food. Local authority officials believe there are
00:48
better ways this can be processed and are seeking to implement efforts to encourage people to use
00:54
their containers more efficiently. It's thought the new waste collection will help to increase
00:59
composting to produce green biogas to fuel homes and vehicles, replacing fossil fuel, gas and organic
01:06
fertiliser to replace chemicals used in farming. When they meet in June, cabinet members will be asked
01:11
to approve the awarding of contracts for the vehicles and containers required to deliver a weekly
01:16
household collection of food waste from next spring. It's currently unknown whether the government will
01:22
provide any new funding to help with these costs or expect local authorities to fund the services
01:28
based on the premise the changes may reduce long-term disposal costs. In terms of recycling,
01:34
Liverpool remains the second worst performing city for recycling across the UK. Just 18% of household
01:40
waste was reused, composted or recycled in 2022-23.
