It is illegal (yes, a crime) to put disposable nappies into the dustbin, and there was a proposal to make it illegal to put meat scraps into the compost bin, but I don't remember anything explicitly about tea bags. um. The proposal (the Animal By-Products Amendment Order 2001) would have made it illegal to put teabags or any other domestic kitchen waste (including vegetable matter) in the compost bin, but it was decided that home composting should have a derogation. Probably because TPTB couldn't work out how to police it... regards sarah -- Waist deep, neck deep We'll be drowning before too long We're neck deep in the Big Muddy And the damned fools keep yelling to push on |
