This pink bin I got two bc I have a big family but you have to have a sticker like the brown but it’s pink instead so it’s just like the extra black bin some people get

What about food waste Surely it would be cheaper to give people a food caddy or food waste bin instead of controlling the methane from the landfill.

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

Cheaper to do food and garden waste together in one bin Like why put carrot tops in garden bin but not the peel lol Its also all mixed together at the composting sites sooo

[@Snappychugdog]

@@southaussiegarbo2054 Food waste that is collected in a caddy or food waste bin is sent to a anerobic digestion facility not a composting site the food at the AD makes energy and fertilizer so much better than mixing it as it costs more to compost both as it must be heated to higher temp to kill bugs in the food waste so garden waste on its own is faster and cheaper.

@@Snappychugdog the cost is a myth fyi. Atleast for Australia

[@Snappychugdog]

@@southaussiegarbo2054 Over here councils save a good amount of money with food caddy collections over it being mixed so low cost as smaller lorry's to empty them and little food caddy's over big bins saves them a lot over landfilling or mixing it.

@@Snappychugdog tbh etiher way its gonna turn to compost/soil and its mostly plant waste anyways so i dont really see why the peel is different to the flowers/leafs off the same plant. Some places overseas waste money collecting as 2 seperate streams to only mix it at the facilities and they shred it and window it or put into anarobic digesters like you said. The councils that do that must be rich as anything

[@raymondpeplow2710]

Local council gone completely bonkers

[@southaussiegarbo2054]
