Plymouth City Council are excited to announce that food waste collections will be introduced across Plymouth in Spring 2026. This initiative is a big step toward reducing landfill, cutting carbon emissions, and creating a cleaner, greener city.
Landlords play an important role in helping tenants manage waste effectively. We’d love to work with you to make this rollout as smooth as possible. By collaborating early, we can ensure clear communication, practical solutions, and shared success.
Why It Matters
- Environmental Impact: Diverting food waste to an anaerobic plant reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports Plymouth’s sustainability goals.
- Tenant Satisfaction: Providing clear guidance and facilities for food waste helps tenants feel supported and engaged.
- Compliance & Reputation: Staying ahead of waste management requirements demonstrates responsibility and enhances your reputation as a proactive landlord.
If you’d like to learn more or discuss how this will affect your properties, please get in touch with us on foodwaste@plymouth.gov.uk
Together, we can make Plymouth a leader in sustainable living.
