A system for dealing with food waste will help cut down on non-recyclable rubbish, the council says.
In the coming months people living in mid-Cornwall, including Newquay and St Austell, will be the first to take on the council's new system.
Cornwall is late to make these changes. Of 32 councils in the South West, it will leave only the Isles of Scilly as having unlimited amounts of rubbish per household.Designed to sit on your kitchen counter or under the sink, the indoor kitchen caddy will be delivered to every household. This one, which is called the outdoor caddy, sits outside the kitchen and takes the filled food waste bags from the silver caddy after they have been tied up.
"A lot of people think they don't have food waste but every time you have an apple and have an apple core you have got food waste."The black, hardened plastic wheelie bin will take about three to four black bin bags, filled with everything that cannot be recycled. Ms O'Bearagh said: "We need everybody to be reducing their rubbish. Most of the bins that are out there are bigger than these ones so we will be collecting those up and recycling them."
