Free caddy bags for Christmas food waste

02/12/2022

A roll of liners is available at local libraries and Cherwell District Council’s offices

Free food caddy bags are being given away in the run up to Christmas to help us deal with any food waste that is generated over the festive period.

Oxfordshire County Council is making available rolls of caddy liners at the county’s libraries, including Banbury library in Marlborough Road.   A supply is also available at Cherwell District Council’s Bodicote House headquarters.   Anyone can pop in and pick up a roll, whilst stocks last.

In the Cherwell District the Council offers a weekly food waste recycling collection, with residents having a silver caddy in which they can place full food waste caddy bags.

Recycling food waste costs less than a quarter of the price of disposing of it with general rubbish. In Oxfordshire green bin rubbish is burnt to generate energy which reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to landfill.   Food waste recycling doubles the climate change benefit, generating green electricity and a fertiliser that is used on farmland across the county.
