Controlled area rules…
- All whole fresh fruit and vegetables, except for leafy vegetables and root vegetables, cannot be moved out of the Controlled Area.
- Within the wider Controlled Area there is a smaller central Zone A, which takes in a circle 200m out from the initial find – whole fruit and vegetables cannot be moved out of this zone at all.
- Fruit and vegetables can continue to be transported into the Controlled Area.
- Residents are asked to avoid composting any risk fruits and vegetables. For disposing of fruit and vegetable waste, you are encouraged to use a sink waste disposal unit if possible.
- The MPI will be providing special bins in the Controlled Area for the disposal of fruit and vegetable waste. The locations of these bins will be advised shortly.
