HEREFORDSHIRE Council is urging people to fit a food waste disposer.
The Sink Your Waste scheme offers up to £80 cashback to county residents that buy one of the gadgets.
Food waste disposers fit under the kitchen sink and grind food waste into small pieces, which are then flushed cleanly into the waste water system.
Councillor John Jarvis, Herefordshire Council cabinet member for the environment and strategic housing, said: “We are encouraging people to deal with their waste in a responsible manner and using a food waste disposer is a very good way.
“By offering cashback and making the claims procedure very easy, we expect more and more Herefordshire residents will be using these devices in the future.”
Leaflet and cashback application forms are being placed in DIY stores and kitchen showrooms around Herefordshire.
