Except that it isn't food waste, much of it is uncooked veggy
parings (which contain most of the vitamins anyway). All this
can be composted at home.

Anything containing bones, fat or protein, whether cooked or not
needs to go to landfill.

Do you have authority for contradicting the advice from my council
(and umpteen others) on what can be composted[1] in their facility?


[1] You can recycle all raw and cooked food waste:
Â*Â*Â*Â* vegetables and peelings
Â*Â*Â*Â* fish and fish bones
Â*Â*Â*Â* fruit cores and skins
Â*Â*Â*Â* bones
Â*Â*Â*Â* bread, rice, pasta
Â*Â*Â*Â* meat (raw or cooked)
Â*Â*Â*Â* teabags, coffee granules
Â*Â*Â*Â* egg shells
Â*Â*Â*Â* plate scrapings
Â*Â*Â*Â* cheese

Try horsham.gov.uk website. They have told us that the brown bins
for garden waste must not be contaminated with food waste. Who is
right ?.


I was citing what can be put into the bin for *food waste* (not garden
waste). Their treatment of food waste is different from that for garden
waste - but neither goes to landfill.

I don't suppose your council has an incinerator by chance ?.

It sends some waste to one - but not food waste.
