What will happen to my food waste?

Separate food waste collections are being rolled out across Sussex this year in an effort to boost recycling.

Research carried out by the BBC shows five out of 13 authorities will not have food waste collection services fully in place by the Government's 31 March deadline.

Sussex councils say 40% of the waste that currently goes into general waste bins is food waste.

Waste collected in East Sussex and Brighton & Hove will be made into compost while waste from West Sussex will go to an anaerobic digester to generate biogas energy and bio-fertiliser for farms.
