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 ?.

The garden waste bin is not a food waste bin.
They do not get composted in the same way.

That's just what your council does. Ours collects food and garden waste
in the same bin (no restrictions on type of food waste) and processes it
all together.
