👏👏👏 Keep up the great work... you've now diverted over 2,825 tonnes of food waste from your rubbish bins - roughly equivalent to 471 large African elephants! 🥳 Your food caddies are making a BIG difference! 🌱 Since we launched our food waste collections in June, we've now collected over 2,825 tonnes of food waste from your caddies*!🍌 That's roughly equivalent to 471 large African elephants worth of food you've collectively diverted from the rubbish bin, to be recycled into biofuel and biofertiliser 🐘 All your meat and fish bones, tea bags, coffee grounds, fruit and veg peelings, mouldy bread, gone off cheese, unsalvageable leftovers and more, add up - although Food Savvy Suffolk have great recipes and tips if they can be saved! Please make sure to put your caddy out - with the handle up - the night before collection, beside rather than on top of your other bin Then pull the handle all the way forward to lock between collections 🚛 You can always check if there's a delay to your collection on our website (just select 'bins and recycling' on the homepage) Babergh and Mid Suffolk weekly food waste collection facts: ♻️ we have 16 dedicated food waste vehicles and crews ♻️ the crews travel around 9,000 miles a week ♻️ each vehicle is powered by either electric or low-emission hydrotreated vegetable oil ♻️ collectively, the food waste crews alone empty over 20,000 caddies a day and over 100,000 a week ♻️ your caddies are first emptied into a 'helper bin' which looks a bit like a normal waste bin, this is then hooked and loaded into the lorry ♻️ crews may leave your caddy on its side after collection to show it's been emptied ♻️ your caddy contents are turned into biofuel and a biofertiliser at these anaerobic digestion facilities: Biogen in Halstead, Essex and BioteCH4 in March, Cambridgeshire *tonnage up to 2 October 2026 Suffolk Recycles food waste caddy

What an incredible evening last night, celebrating the launch of our medieval barn! We gathered around the table to share a delicious meal, prepared on site by our team. Performances by the East Anglian Storytelling Festival made the night all the more special, and we heard brilliant speeches from our Director Jenny Cousins and Leader of MSDC Andy Mellen. The restoration of the barn has been made possible thanks to generous funding from @heritagefunduk, @midsuffolk, @dcmsgovuk, @westonfdn and Pilgrim Trust. The Barn is where your visitor experience begins. Come and discover this wonderful medieval building for yourself.

What’s happening to this building? If you’ve wandered around our site recently, you’ll have noticed some big changes underway in the Boby Building. Once home to the museum’s traditional craft collection, this space is being completely transformed. Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Mid Suffolk District Council, it will soon become The Factory: a multi-purpose building featuring a permanent ground floor exhibition that explores how food reaches our plates, told through 12 key ingredients. Upstairs, a brand-new events space will host up to 300 people, complete with a commercial kitchen, a bar and views across the site. Follow along as we bring this space to life.

A message so important even some of our bin lorries wear it! If you need to hire someone to collect and dispose of additional waste, you must: ✅ Ask for their waste carrier licence (including the number) ✅ Check the number on the @envagency register ✅ Check you’ll get a receipt Rogue waste traders don’t always look like criminals. A professional-looking ad, ‘five-star’ reviews, a tempting price and quick collection can all make a trader look legitimate No one wants to see their waste fly tipped on a street, field or open space where they live Don’t just trust the ad. Check the trader. Don’t fall for a rubbish deal or scam 📲If you witness fly tipping in our districts, be sure to make a note of any details like the date, time and vehicle registration, and location etc and report it to us via our website (just type fly tipping in the search bar) ℹ️ Find more information about how you can help prevent fly tipping on the @suffolkrecycles website #FightFlytippingFortnight Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils bin lorry with fly tipping message
