Food Waste? We’re At Your Disposal…

Resource Futures is supporting Lancashire County Council with an assessment of their food waste collection service trial.

Finding food waste

An Analysis of both residual waste and food waste is being conducted in order to establish the composition of the waste, the quantities of each waste stream arising from individual households and to identify if there are particular types of food waste which are still being disposed of with residual waste. This data can then be used to assess the effectiveness of the Council’s communications and draw comparisons with previously household waste composition data that has been collected previously through Resource Futures’ prior work in Lancashire.
