The information on this page is for Cornwall’s new weekly food waste and fortnightly recycling and rubbish collections. We are rolling this new service out across Cornwall area by area from 2023 to 2025.
Can I recycle it?
Fruit stones are collected as part of your food waste collection. If they have not been cooked they can also be added to your home compost bin if you have one.
Which container?
Fruit stones go in your silver indoor caddy for food waste and are collected from your green outdoor caddy.
When is my collection day?
Useful information
Composting is an inexpensive, natural process that transforms your kitchen and garden waste into a valuable and nutrient rich food for your garden. It's easy to make and use.
Cornwall Council is part of a national scheme to provide low price compost bins directly to your door. Use your Cornwall postcode to purchase great value compost bins and water butts from Get Composting.
What if my food waste collections haven't started yet?
Fruit stones should be put in your rubbish bin if your new weekly food waste collections haven't started yet.
