People are advised to leave their new food waste caddies out with their wheelie bin on their regular collection day every week.

Council’s Head of Environment Conor Canning said the full roll out would be completed in the coming months. He said: “The food caddy scheme is progressing well and we would encourage people in the latest areas to receive the caddies to read the information provided about what is appropriate for disposal.”

To date 51,000 caddies have been delivered to local homes.
