Why food waste builds up in summer
During heatwaves or bank holiday weeks, food waste bins are often missed, delayed, or refused. Councils such as Surrey County Council, Kingston, and Sutton sometimes reschedule rounds — but by then, the waste may already have started to rot.
Typical reasons for missed food bin collections include:
- 🚫 Contaminated caddies (plastic bags or non-food items inside)
- 🚛 Crews unable to access your street or property
- 🔥 Suspended collections during heat alerts or strike action
- 📆 Schedule changes after bank holidays or public events
