Enfield is currently consulting on potential changes to green waste and food collection, or rather asking which of two options are preferred.

These options are:

a fortnightly green bin collection for food and garden waste

or

Residents who want to continue to have their green bin emptied weekly will be charged £60 per year. LBE will provide a separate food collection service every week, free of charge, for all properties.

I can't see how a food collection service only will save money, but I can see how charging £60 a year for green waste might earn money! That is is enough people opt for this and the cost of dealing with fly tipping doesn't outweigh it.

Having looked at the online questionnare I think that we need an explanation of the "free food collection" option and how the costs stack up.

Also, any food collection system will need to avoid the old problems of food waste being spread across the road and pavement by foxes. The large bins have solved this problem.

There are no changes proposed for blue or black bin collections.
