00:0050,000 households in Darlington are starting a new food waste recycling system from Tuesday 2 June under a government
00:08-backed drive to boost recycling and cut contamination.
00:12New kitchen caddies, outdoor food waste bins and liners have been delivered to every home across the borough.
00:19The council says bins may carry warning stickers if items are put into the wrong place and contaminated loads could
00:26be refused.

00:32Council leaders insist the system is now ready, with weekly food waste collections alongside recycling and glass services.
00:40Residents have been issued guidance packs explaining the changes.
