Food caddy roll out begins across the Fylde

By Central Radio News

Thousands of Fylde households are receiving their brand-new food waste caddies from this week.

The roll out begins today, Monday September 28, as part of Fylde Council’s new food waste collection service. Indoor and outdoor caddies will be hand-delivered to over 10,000 Phase 1 households between now and Friday, October 9.

Each caddy will contain everything residents need to get started - including caddy liners, details of when their service begins and a full service information leaflet.

Full FAQs are available at www.fylde.gov.uk/foodwaste for anyone who wants to find out more ahead of their first collection, where residents can also check whether their household is included in Phase 1 using the postcode search tool.

Pre-launch letters were delivered in July with further details. Any household that believes they should have received a caddy but hasn't by Monday 12 October is asked to get in touch with the authority.

Tucked inside ten of the caddies will be a golden ticket, each one unlocking a local prize.
