Composting 
Is it fine to still home compost?
Of course, please continue with your home compost
heaps or wormeries, whilst using the kitchen
waste kerbside recycling service. Remember there are items that
you cannot home compost - for example leaving cooked food in your
home composter is likely to attract scavenging creatures, those
pesky rats.
How do I know?
Simply follow the table below to recycle your food waste
correctly. The list isn't exhaustive, but it should
set you on the right track.
