In total, the council hopes to collect an extra 127 tonnes of dry waste each year and generate £395,000 in extra income.

“West Suffolk Council and its predecessors have a strong track record of providing commercial waste services to local businesses and organizations since the 1990s,” Mr Taylor added.

“The introduction of these new services will enable the council to continue to deliver commercial waste and recycling collection locally and maintain a strong revenue stream which helps fund important council services.”

It comes after the council decided not to change its bin collection schedule last month, despite neighboring authorities moving to less frequent collections.

Councilors voted for additional bins and food waste collections from 2026, but general waste collections would still take place every two weeks.
