Waste food will be collected weekly from homes across the county using specially designed new vehicles
Lancashire's waste recycling is set to be revolutionised with plans unveiled to turn food waste into electricity.
Residents only have the option at the moment to put food waste in their household bins unless they compost it themselves. Under the proposed scheme using food caddies, organic matter such as kitchen scraps will be collected weekly using specially designed new vehicles.This will be deposited in a closed area of the waste recovery park, and packaging and contaminants removed by a press.
Councillor Shaun Turner, cabinet member for Environment and Climate Change, said: "It was fascinating to go around the waste recovery park and to see how much goes on behind the scenes. We saw where the general waste comes into the plant, and the journey it undertakes as it is processed. "Walking around outside, you could be forgiven for not knowing that the plant is capable of processing half of Lancashire's waste."
