Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council begin a weekly food waste recycling service at Malting Mead from 30 March 2026, in line with new recycling legislation.

Each flat has been provided with a 5-litre green food waste caddy for kitchen use, along with a food waste recycling guide.

A 140-litre green food waste bin has been placed in the bin store cupboard in Block 1 for all residents to use for shared food waste disposal. No other waste should be placed in this bin.

Only biodegradable caddy liners should be used. Do not use plastic bags or other non-compostable materials. If the bin becomes contaminated, it will not be emptied, and any costs for removing contaminated waste may be charged.
