Somerset Council has revealed that around a million pounds could be saved if residents recycled every scrap of food waste instead of binning it.
Funding is available for innovative community projects in Somerset which are tackling waste.
On Saturday 12 July 2025, teams from SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK took part in a charity football match to raise over £900 for charity. The funds will be split equally between SUEZ UKs two cooperate charity partners, Macmillan Cancer Support and British Heart Foundation.
Students in Somerset are learning new ‘green’ skills thanks to SUEZ recycling and recovery UK and Somerset Council.
In a bid to improve kerbside recycling rates, households across Somerset are being encouraged to recycle food and drink cans, aluminium wrapping foil and foil trays, empty aerosols and metal screw tops.
Today (06 April 2020), SUEZ recycling and recovery UK and Somerset Waste Partnership are delighted to confirm they have successfully mobilised their recycling and waste collections contract, bringing a fleet of 140 new vehicles and the latest in-cab technology across the county.
