We may be Trialling Recycling Food Scraps!

Recycling food waste is a very good idea... i will help a lot of household and the environment as well... i wish we can have something like that in my country... i usually have a lot of foodscraps and they always end up to be drained down in the sink... for some families here... foodscraps go to the pet dogs or even pigs... so recycling for the likes of me is a very good idea...

Hats off to Adelaide. This is terrific news. I know that in my region, we have already began recycling food scraps. This food waste is a good source for composting material. By recycling our foodscraps, this helps keep the landfills less full. Quite the incentive to be giving away the biodegradable compost bags. I hope that you and your friends pursue recycling. More people should in MHO.

I just take my vegetable scraps and lawn waste and put them in a compost heap. I think that it would begin to stink if you had to hold it or garbage pick up. Homemade food makes great compost for your home grown food.

We recycle all food scraps but we live in the country. Plant type foods such as old lettuce and coffee grounds and egg shells go in the can for the compost pile. Everything else and I mean everything else goes to the chickens. I never knew until moving here that chickens will eat just about anything and it helps to save on chicken feed.

Hi jennybianca! That is a brilliant idea! Recycling food scraps is a wonderfu thing because there is too much waste on food nowadays although on some parts of the world there are many people who go hungry especially in third world countries. Here in our country, we do our own recycling of our own food scraps. Some of which are given to people who raise pigs and some are for fertilizers. Just my thoughts. Take care and have a nice day!

I am sorry but I think this is a ridiculous idea. But a typical bureaucratic way to solve a problem. Food scraps should be composted where they are used not loaded into a big truck to be carted off to a landfill. You don't have to live in the country to compost. I do it in a cat litter bin that my neighbor threw into the recycling. It's just more plastic, more gas being burned and the gov't.(us) has to hire (and pay) more people to do the work. (which is their objective to begin with) We need to start doing more for ourselves and stop turning to the gov't to solve our problems! A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.
