Impressive. Useful if you're in Cambridgeshire.


Ours (Oldham) takes it away and it's never seen again. I asked the
council what they did with ours and they have no plans to make it
available to the public.


What does your local council do with garden and food waste?


Our local council charge us £26/year for a large brown wheelie bin for
garden waste which they empty fortnightly during the gardening season, make
compost with it and then offer it back to us for sale at, forget exactly,
but £3 a bag comes to mind.
There's no food recycling service available atm, but they will sell you a
dalek-type plastic thingie that allows it to leach back into the soil
somehow.
I don't have one of these as I have almost no food waste. I don't cook
anything I don't like so I eat it all ;-)
Veg peelings are polished off by my hens, (I cook potato peel) anything
unsuitable like onion skins & citrus peel go on my compost heap.
Meat fat my cat scoffs down. Bacon rind chopped finely and fed to the
birds. Almost a self-sustaining system.
