Businesses in Ribble Valley have been told to prepare for changes to waste collection.

The new rules will apply to organisations with 10 or more full-time equivalent employees, including schools and hospitals.

The changes, part of the Government's Simpler Recycling scheme, require businesses to separate food waste and dry recyclables from general waste.
