Food Waste Collection

Flintshire County Council are introducing a pilot scheme to collect scrap food.. Not sure if this is going to be nice.
I remember the food bins at school where food scraps were kept before being collected by a lorry to feed the pigs. That was pre foot and mouth.The thought of food sitting in a bin for a week or a fortnight in the height of summer? If your not careful as quite a few will be, you leave the lid off flies are attracted, lay eggs..................

You can turn food scraps that are vegetable of fruit based into garden compost. Some containers can even be kept in the kitchen.
You can't used animal protein stuff, dairy, meat, oil or excrement of dogs and cats if compost made is to produce vegetables.

Another method is Vermicomposting which uses red wrigglers.
