A council is set to introduce three-weekly bin collections despite local Berkshire Council currently collects black bins every two weeks, but said on Monday this would change to every three weeks from 22 a council survey run earlier this year, most people said they did not want a reduction in the frequency of refuse collections, and a petition was launched in May calling for the council to change its the council said the change aimed to increase recycling, reduce waste and support long-term environmental goals. Under the new plans, food waste will be collected weekly, recycling will be collected fortnightly, and black bins every three weeks. West Berkshire Council said recent analysis showed 42% of black bin contents could be recycled, with 22% being food authority said the figures highlighted "a big opportunity" to reduce the amount of waste thrown Gourley, the council's executive member for environment and highways, said the changes would help create a "cleaner, greener West Berkshire"."We understand that changes to waste collection can be challenging and feel disruptive, but we want to reassure residents that this decision has been made with significant thought, care, and a long-term vision for our community," he said."This change is necessary to ensure a more sustainable future for West Berkshire.

I'd heard brilliant things about Too Good to Go so spent £4.40 on an Asda bag – it was an epic fail, I can't eat it all
Sarah Bull, Digital Senior Reporter Published: Invalid Date, IT'S the food recycling scheme that aims to reduce waste. And loads of people have had epic wins on their Too Good to Go bags, nabbing hundreds of pounds' worth of goodies for a fraction of their original price. 6 6 6 6 So Florence decided to take a gamble and get one from her local town - although the only options were from Greggs or Asda. As the Greggs ones were sold out, she went for Asda, and thought it was her lucky day when she was given two massive bags, each of which was packed full to the brim. "I got two bags for life full of food for £4.40 and I was like, 'Yeah it's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be fabulous!'" Florence said. However, when she got home, she soon realised that she'd made a mistake. "It's ALL salad," Florence sighed. She then unpacked the bags in a video on her TikTok page, as she pulled out iceberg lettuce after iceberg lettuce. There were also some boxes and bags of prepped salads, which Florence joked "made a change". While she hoped that the second bag had something other than salad in it, she quickly discovered it did not. "It's more salad!" she exclaimed. Florence concluded her video by sharing a look at her kitchen - which ended up being "just lettuce". "I'm actually gonna cry," she despaired. She captioned her video by tagging Too Good to Go and adding: "What is this!?" People in the comments section were quick to advise Florence to complain about the bags, with one writing: "Too Good to Go is supposed to prevent food waste - they can't possibly imagine you could use all that salad. "Taking the p**s and making a mockery of the scheme." "A lot of that looked vile too, like proper rotten," another added. "It's supposed to be 'too good to go', not 'good riddance'!" Hacks for Keeping Food Fresh in Your Fridge IF you want your food to stay fresh, you'll need to try out this useful hacks... Herbs in Water: Store fresh herbs like parsley and coriander in a glass of water, then cover with a plastic bag to keep them fresh for weeks. Wrap Greens in Paper Towels: Wrap leafy greens in paper towels before placing them in a plastic bag. The towels absorb excess moisture, preventing wilting. Use Mason Jars: Store salads, chopped vegetables, and even leftovers in mason jars. They are airtight and keep food fresher for longer. Revive Stale Bread: Sprinkle a bit of water on stale bread and pop it in the oven for a few minutes to make it fresh again. Baking Soda for Odours: Place an open box of baking soda in your fridge to absorb odours and keep food tasting fresh. Freeze Herbs in Olive Oil: Chop herbs and freeze them in olive oil using an ice cube tray. This preserves their flavour and makes them easy to use. Keep Cheese Fresh: Wrap cheese in wax paper instead of plastic wrap. Wax paper allows the cheese to breathe, preventing it from becoming slimy. Store Avocados with Onions: Place a cut avocado in an airtight container with a slice of onion. The sulphur compounds in the onion slow down oxidation, keeping the avocado fresh. Use Vinegar Wash for Berries: Rinse berries in a mixture of water and vinegar (one cup of vinegar to three cups of water) before storing. This kills bacteria and mould spores, extending their shelf life. Egg Freshness Test: To check if eggs are still fresh, place them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will sink, while old ones will float. Implement these clever hacks to maximise the freshness of your food and make the most of your groceries. "Completely defeats the point of TGTG, as now 90% of that will go to waste," a third said. "Companies shouldn't use it a glorified waste collection." "And you can't even freeze any of it!" someone else pointed out. "Cheaper for them to let you dispose of it," another added. "And they make a quick pound as well while showing the general public how 'eco friendly' they are by preventing food waste," someone else said "I live in London and bought a Tesco Too Good to Go bag just after Christmas and it was literally just 5 bags of brussel sprouts and a load of mashed potato - all with an expiration date of TOMORROW," another sighed. "I think its just become a way for grocery stores to offload their produce that's going off on to the customer." "I tried Too Good to Go from some bakeries and couple of times hoping for some sweet buns or cakes and ended up with 12 slightly stale bread rolls and a mini baguette," someone else wrote. "Never again!" However, another commented: "It's not that hard to understand. "It's left overs; food before it becomes food waste. You get what you get; if you're not prepared for that don't use Too Good to Go." "They're meant to give you a variety of stuff, 2 bags of leafs is a joke," Florence hit back. 6 6

Crypto.com Arena Leads the Way in Sustainability With Reusable Cup Program
AEG's Arena in Los Angeles, CA has become the first major sports and entertainment venue in the U.S. to fully transition to 100 percent reusable drinkware, replacing single-use cups with a system designed to drastically reduce waste. The bright yellow bins throughout the arena's concourse are part of a larger environmental initiative to keep plastics out of landfills. Since launching the program in 2024 in partnership with the nation's #1 reuse provider, the arena has already diverted hundreds of thousands of single-use cups. The reusable cup program is just one component of a larger sustainability push by AEG, which owns the arena that is home to the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, the NHL's LA Kings and the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks. As the WNBA season kicks off and summer events roll in, the arena aims to keep sustainability at the forefront of its operations. With every cup collected, sorted, and reused, Arena is leading the charge toward a more sustainable future. See more on Arena's reusable cup program featured in this Spectrum News 1 article.
