Anything I don't or can't shred goes into my brown bin.
They even say we can put kitchen waste in it now, but I don't, nor would
I buy compost from the council. Yukk!

Depends on the kitchen waste - veg peelings and egg shells are OK. I
compost more stuff than our council allows in green bins and use my
green bin for composting leaves for leaf mould (which takes two years).

I would never put fat or meat on the compost heap it encourages vermin.

But what would others do?...

Weird useless factoid. Salford's "green" bins are shocking pink!

They didn't think it through, did they?

Black bins - been around for years here
Blue bins - for paper, now plus cardboard
Green bins - bottles, certain plastics, cans
All very fine, then along came the brown bins....
