Northumberland is set to face significant challenges when the Government forces local authorities to provide a food recycling service, councillors have warned.
Northumberland County Council has been running a pilot scheme for 5,000 properties in four locations across the county since November, with a county-wide service required by law from April 2026.
But councillors say that any such service will be difficult to provide in Northumberland due to the county's sheer size as well as the rural nature of many communities.
