to recycle food waste ?
□ Pay less for FW recycling than for general (black bag) waste
□ Big containers OR high collection frequency
(more than 1x per week)
□ Flexible contracts (less than 1 year)
□ Leakage proof containers
□ Acceptance of plastic bags within the
food waste

9. To overcome barriers
• Charge for residual waste according to
weight not volume
• Decrease cost of collection
• Encourage collective procurement of
FW collection service
• Regulatory requirement to separate FW
(on the agenda in Wales)
• Enforcement of waste hierarchy
