Welcome to South Cambridgeshire District Council

Food waste collections

Starting in 2026, all households in South Cambridgeshire and Cambridge will receive a weekly food waste collection service. This is due to new national legislation requiring separate food waste collection. Find out when the service will start in your area by typing your postcode into the In My Area section at the top of this page.
