All our peelings and bits of veg get composted.

It's only
bones/eggshells etc that go in the food waste bin.

Why not compost egg shells - they just break down into small pieces and
disappear.

In the mean time (unless washed - which is unlikely) they provide a nice
snack for rats. This is a direct observation using an infra red camera.
Avocado skins are also popular. I have no evidence, only suspicion, re
potato peelings.

The bones and eggshells are wrapped in newspaper as requested and are
in a small bin with a locked lid.
Quite so. But someone suggested composting them.


And rats can't get into the compost bins.

That's what I thought!
