Food Waste
Ready meals
Ready meals cannot be recycled or disposed of in your local council’s kerbside rubbish or recycling bin, box or bag. Ready meals (once packaging has been removed) can be recycled in your food waste caddy.
FOOD WASTE FACTS:
- If you live in Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton or Wirral, food waste can be disposed of in the kerbside residual bin - please ensure it is securely wrapped.
- If you live in St Helens, please note that St Helens Council operates a weekly household food waste collection. Please visit www.sthelens.gov.uk/recycling if you are a St Helens resident and would like more information about the scheme.
- Some waste food materials can also be placed into a home composter to make compost.
- Cooked food or meat products should be only composted in a wormery.
