English councils receive £295m funding for weekly food waste collections by March 2026, aims to reduce food waste and greenhouse emissions.

English councils will receive up to £295 million in funding to support the introduction of weekly food waste collections by March 2026. The funding will provide food waste caddies for homes and specialist collection vehicles, targeting local authorities that haven't yet implemented food waste services. The goal is to reduce food waste, prevent contamination of other waste, and divert food waste from landfills, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
