Food waste collections during Pannage
If your road is accessible to grazing livestock, from 15 September 2025 NFDC will collect your outdoor food waste caddy from behind the gate.
The caddy should be left in a location visible to the crews, and with the handle in the upright lock position.
This change only applies to the food waste caddy. Your wheelie bins (or sacks if you remain on a sack collection) will remain at the kerbside collection point.
Crews are prohibited from crossing cattle grids so your caddy will need to be left outside the cattle grid if you do not have a gate to your property. In this scenario, the handle should be locked forward and down.
To make this approach possible, NFDC are investing in additional resource so that crews can take the extra time required to collect food waste caddies from behind gates.
Please continue to present your food waste caddies in this way until NFDC contact you to advise otherwise.
