The first two are compostible. Bones, fat, meat remnants and
other stuff of animal or fowl origin cannot be composted. This is
why pig farmers no longer collect 'swill' from schools. The possibility
of another foot-and-mouth outbreak is ominous. This sort of food
waste must go to landfill.

Unless you grow your own carrots (which means you have space for a
compost heap or bin anyway), where are these 'greens of carrots' coming
from ?. You only need to chop off the top 1/4 inch. How can you
end up with 240 litres a week ?.
