Weekly food waste reminder
Food waste is collected weekly in Ipswich. That makes it different from the longer patterns used for some other household bins, so a weekly reminder can stop the caddy being forgotten.
Kitchen caddy and outdoor caddy
Many households use a small kitchen caddy indoors and a larger outdoor caddy for collection. Empty the kitchen caddy into the outdoor caddy regularly so food waste is ready to go out.
Why the reminder helps
A reminder is useful if different people put bins out, if you live in a shared house, or if collection day is easy to miss during a busy week. It also helps separate food waste from the black bin before collection day arrives.
Food waste goes out with the normal collection day
Food waste normally goes out for the usual collection day shown for your street. Service disruption can still happen, so use official council information if anything looks unusual.
Check your street before putting bins out
Check your bin day before putting bins out so you can see the next collection currently shown to the app.
