Welcome to the world of food waste collections - at last!

Other parts of London as well as Councils all over the country have had these for years and the rollout is now as a result of Govt consultations to try and standardise collections.  They are a brilliant way to show you exactly what food you waste which allows you to make adjustments to your shopping, cooking and storing routines in order to waste even less - saving money and energy making/growing/rearing that food.   

It is worthwhile thinking about where you will keep the bigger bin before collection as you want it to be near enough to empty the small bin into it but not in the full sun if you can possibly help it.  I'm sure it will have a  locking handle but you may also want to place it where it can't be knocked over.

You can buy the compostable lining bags in shops or online when you run out and we've been using the compostable bags that some magazines are delivered in nowadays. You will need to check that they are suitable.  I think you'll find you can line your bins with newspaper or kitchen roll but do also rinse them out regularly.

Separating your food waste out from what goes in your much larger bin will mean that you don't have leaky smelly and dripping black bin bags!
