Newham Council's Interim Corporate Director of Environment, Sean McDermid, approved contracts for food waste caddies and liners in October 2025. This decision supports the council's plan to roll out weekly food waste collections to all residential households by 2026, a service that aims to increase recycling rates and reduce carbon emissions.
