Recycling rates in Bracknell Forest have been boosted by the introduction of separate food waste collections in March 2020. This reduces landfill taxes on the council.
The Food Waste collection continues to perform very well across the borough, and we are still collecting 2.8kg’s per household per week (over 500 tonns per month). Thanks to residents enthusiasm and care this food waste has been recycled into electricity and fertiliser, rather than heading to landfill.
