Piles of Garbage
“Every household in the country could soon be required to keep a separate bin for food scraps as a new scheme to reduce landfill is rolled out across the country.
Councils claim it will enable them to recycle millions of tons of bio-degradable rubbish, but critics say it is a costly waste of time which will be used as an excuse to end weekly bin collections once and for all.
Some residents taking part in the schemes have complained about unpleasant odours from food waste, which they say attracts flies and other pests.
According to figures obtained by The Daily Telegraph, almost one in four councils in the UK have now introduced separate collections of food waste. Others are about to follow.
Householders will be required to keep a brown plastic “caddy” to put food scraps in, which is collected weekly. It is predicted the average household will dispose of around 2kg of food waste each week.
Critics warn however, that the scheme means the vast majority of waste is likely only to be collected once a fortnight. They pointed out that some of the most unpleasant waste items, including dirty nappies, would therefore go two weeks without being collected.”
I’m sorry, but this story gives me the giggles. It’s so green! So tyrannical! So British!
