Have your say on weekly food waste collections in South Derbyshire

South Derbyshire District Council is inviting residents to share their experiences of the district's weekly food waste collection service as part of a new feedback survey.

Since the introduction of weekly food waste collections in June 2026, households across South Derbyshire have been able to separate their food waste from their general rubbish, helping to reduce waste and support more sustainable recycling.

Now, the Council wants to hear how residents are finding the service and identify any areas where improvements could be made.

Whether you use your food waste caddy every week, occasionally, or haven't started using it yet, your feedback is valuable.

The survey provides an opportunity for residents to share their experiences, highlight what's working well and tell the Council about any challenges they may have encountered.

Feedback will help the Council better understand how the service is being used and inform future communications and potential improvements.

Residents are encouraged to take a few minutes to complete the short online survey.
