Oxfordshire libraries offer free food waste caddy liners in December to cut holiday waste and support recycling.

Oxfordshire libraries are giving away free food waste caddy liners in December to help reduce holiday-related food waste, a time when disposal typically increases. The county council’s initiative aims to boost recycling of inedible scraps like peels and bones, which can be turned into green energy and fertilizer. Though most households already recycle food waste, the council says diverting more could save £3 million annually and cut emissions. Liners are available while supplies last, supporting broader climate and waste reduction goals.
