Households across East Suffolk are set to benefit from expanded recycling services, with changes due to be introduced from June 2026.
Under the new system, residents will be able to recycle a wider range of materials from home. This includes glass bottles and jars, drinks cartons, plastic bags and thin plastic film. Alongside the expanded recycling, a new weekly food waste collection service will also be rolled out.
The changes form part of a move to improve recycling rates and make it easier for residents to recycle more of their household waste.
Ahead of the launch, information leaflets will be delivered to households across East Suffolk. These are being sent out in phases over the next couple of months, alongside the delivery of new bins and food waste caddies.
Residents are being advised not to worry if they have not yet received information, as deliveries will take place gradually across the district.
Further details about how the new collections will work, what can be recycled, and when individual households will receive their bins are expected to be shared closer to the start date.
Councils say residents should keep an eye out for information arriving through their letterboxes and follow local updates to stay informed as the rollout continues.
