How much food do you waste Options

[Jayjay]

With the news that we all have to use slop pails, I calculated how much I would have put in this week. 1 chicken carcass, 1" square if cheese that had started to go mouldy and 1/2 plate of pasta (didn't like he sauce). Bread went to the ducks/birds, egg shells prevented the slugs, tea bags and veg peelings went in the compost bin.

The issue is that a major argument against against fortnightly bin collection is that food waste stinks by the end of the fortnight - this way you can put the stuff in the next bin to be emptied so that argument no longer applies.

Like I said, some families have waste from babies and pets. We have no baby waste, but we have more pet waste than food. We have virtually no food waste.

From what I read, all sorts of food waste can be composted at the new facility; tea bags, chicken bones, banana skins etc. Ideally it should all go in the green bin for composting, but if you want it collecting weekly you can just put it in your black bin on that week. I'll be giving it a go in just my green bin, I like the idea of composting, but have never been bothered in my tiny garden.
