Where I live in Bristol, UK, any food we need to throw out is put into a separate bin and then taken to a large (very) compost facility for processing. I think this is great as I try to be as green as possible, I dont own a car for example, I rely on public transport, I do not fly often, do not litter and recycle to the best of my ability! So great work Steven! With respect to the program my city offers, I am very impressed with it as a whole, the only bugbear I have with it is that they do not take cardboard (but they do take paper?!) from our home for recycling - we have to take it to a facility ourselves (which is annoying as I do not use a car!). This is the only thing I think needs improving however so I think its a very good program!

This is some places though. Where i liev we get nothing. We dont even have wheelie bins, only standard metal ones (which we have to buy ourselves) and recycling is very limited

You could print off some threads from the Geeks forum and compost those. It's sure to make great compost

Oh, and I have 3 compost bins, which I named after the Daleks

lol nice one Salem. Davros! JBennet, there is a wide range of local council authority opinions on the subject of recycling etc, I mean in the next town to me they do not provide any recycling services at all.Which is odd.

Any sewer plant is essentially a composting facility.

...heh, I always though of Steve as a bit dense (well not always, but as first). Just goes to show about first impressions.

Judging from the many folks that buy organic food, composting has become rather important.

hey scru, was that suppose to be a jab at me or am i interpreting your statement wrong, If so bite my shinny metal ass. If not, ignore previous statement.

Man im surprised that anywhere in england would have poor recycling. I dont know why, but i thought they were pretty "green".
