Recycling reforms see separate food waste bins for England
- nonrandomstring 3y agoWe've had separate food waste bins in my area for ages. They have many problems that seem hard to solve. They are small, about 5L or 10L capacity. If you make them bigger then the food begins to rot in summer if not collected very frequently. The council are stingy about supplying, collecting and replacing them, so neighbours will steal someone else's. We simply gave up constantly asking BCP for a replacement that never came. But worse is the foxes. There are lots of rural and urban foxes in the UK. When food bins are put out these smart and tenacious critters find a way in, so in the morning you'll wake up to chicken bones and vegetables strewn across your path and down the road. Hopefully the next recycling initiative brings better design ideas.
