Frequently Asked Questions (1)
I Am Not Able to Put Vegetable Peelings and Organic Kitchen Waste Etc Into the Brown Garden Waste Bin, So Where Can These Go?
We recommend that uncooked food waste, such as vegetable peelings, tea bags and egg shells, should be placed in a home composter. Cooked food waste, such as left-overs can be placed in a food digester. For current offers and further information on home composters, and cooked food waste digesters, call the County Council on 0116 305 7005, or click here.
