Our food waste (which is very little) goes first in the dogs, then in the chickens and then on the compost!
We always have plenty of room in the bins, just being the two of us. We don't get glass collected, we take that to a bottle bank. Everything else goes, no trouble.
and Wales I believe....
I wonder if each council should have a way of burning rubbish and creating some kind of heat from it, they could use the heat for their offices?
We've got a kitchen top food caddy that you empty into a larger outdoor food caddy when full. No health risk there as the handle locks the bins shut & vacumn tight. Ours are emptied every week along with our green box (paper, tins, cardboard, glass) & our white 'plastics ' bag. We have a big garden rubbish wheelie bin which is emptied fortnightly & costs an extra £40 per year on top of council tax (which is much fairer as people who live in flats don't have to contribute to garden rubbish collection). My main landfill rubbish bag never has more than a small carrier bag full of rubbish in it.
Our local hospital and others were incinerating abortions and bits cut off in operations (like my hip bone) and using the heat to heat the hospital but they were stopped by someone in a suit. What difference does it make where the heat is used? Better than going up into the sky, surely!
There was talk of crematoriums doing the same but I don't think the idea got very far.
When our dogs are outside on walkies we put their mess in the council pooh bins, but at home it goes in the general rubbish bin.
This sort of thing is seen in the village quite often
People pick it up in a bag and then throw it in the nearest tree, what the h**l. Some trees look like they are ready for Christmas.
