New Food Waste Regulations for Householders
New regulations (Household Food Waste & Bio-Waste Regulations 2013) introduced by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government in 2013 mean that more householders around County Carlow must now segregate food waste from other waste in their homes.
What does this mean for waste collection companies?
All authorised collectors must provide a separate collection service for food waste and transfer the food waste to an authorised facility for treatment as the deadline for an area is introduced.
What does this mean for householders?
Householders who use a waste collection company will receive a third bin for food waste. Once you have taken possession of the third bin from your waste collector you must segregate your food waste.
Householders may either:
- Present food waste in their brown bin for collection by an authorised collector
- Subject the food waste to a home composting process on their premises
- Bring the food waste to an authorised facility.
The new regulations are being introduced on a staggered basis, when they come in depends on where you live.The introduction of these regulations commenced on 1st January 2014 when they were introduced into Carlow Town.
