properly, he'd have seen it was optionally for garden waste as well.


In Horsham if the garden waste is contaminated with any sort of
food waste, it is just scooped back up (at the composting site)
and taken to landfill.

Food waste could contain meat remnants, including pork and
that was what caused the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak.

If people were careful enought to separate uncooked veggy
remnants from cooked food waste then it wouldn't be an issue
but people are lazy (and not generally very clued-up).

'Food Waste' means different things to different people.
