Preparing for New Food Waste Collection Rules

New government regulations will significantly change how waste is collected across England.

From 1 April 2026, local authorities must provide separate food waste collections for households as part of the UK’s broader environmental strategy.

This change will require many councils and waste operators to expand their fleets with specialist food waste collection vehicles capable of supporting new collection rounds.

RCVs designed for multi-stream or dedicated food waste collection will play a critical role in helping authorities meet these requirements while maintaining efficient waste management services. At Dawsongroup emc, we work closely with local authorities to supply vehicles that support compliance with upcoming waste collection regulations while maintaining operational efficiency.
