North Northants Council – Food Waste Services

We aim to commence a weekly food waste recycling collection to all properties in the former Wellingborough and Kettering Borough Council areas from September 2026. This service is already in place in the former East Northants and Corby areas, having been introduced before the unitary reorganisation. There are no changes to the frequency of collections for current recycling and general waste collections, which will continue on a fortnightly cycle.

With these food waste collections in place, the waste collection services offered across North Northamptonshire will be harmonised, so all residents receive the same level of service.

Grant funding for the rollout of the service has been provided by central Government as part of their Simpler Recycling initiative to promote recycling. The initial costs for containers and vehicles have been met by Government funding for the introduction of this service.

Information to residents will be provided through leaflets, social media and website updates explaining how to use the service. We have a dedicated webpage for further information, please see www.northnorthants.gov.uk/foodwastestarting. If you have any questions regarding this new service, please email waste@northnorthants.gov.uk.
