Louise and Tim speak to Gareth Rollngs of West Sussex County Council about working with UK Harvest in an alternative approach to food waste, diverting viable food away from waste and putting it to good use. Nominated for an Award for Excellence in 2024, the initiative is a community food hub rescuing thousands of tons of surplus food.

Tim talks to Dale Rowbotham of Stockton on Tees Borough Council to discuss the choices facing councils implementing new collection services. As Simpler Recycling rolls out across the country many councils are making choices about what containers to use, how to separate various waste streams and which vehicles are best for collections in different parts of their area. #stockon #wastecollection #foodwaste #bins #recycling #simplerrecycling #kerbsider

Tim sits down with Matt Boulter of Dorset Council to discuss his experiences as seven small districts became the large unitary authority it is now, via a waste partnership along the way!

There's loads of interesting information about how this rural authority collects and processes waste, and how it has taken residents along a journey to more modern waste and recycling services.
