It does seem that some councils have much easier schemes than others. I really like the two bins for compost and general waste / bags for recycling although I'd be worried that the bags would blow away. We have two great big bins and two recycling boxes which takes up a lot of space, and the boxes aren't always big enough.
I thought they meant things like potato peelings etc.. Some cooked food is OK, but anything heavily salted and also meat could be an issue.
It's not a problem that occurred to me, because wasting prepared food is simply not something that has ever been permitted in my life. As a child, not eating the food lovingly prepared by my mother slaving in the kitchen all day was totally unthinkable. These days, I can't afford to just throw away all that time and money. There's no such thing as "unwanted leftovers" in my house; there is simply "tomorrows dinner"
