Other councils mix garden and kitchen waste together, why don't we?

It depends on the contractor's requirements. We ask you to separate yours, as both products are taken to an in-vessel composting site in Cowbridge. They have to tightly control the 'ingredients' of the process, therefore we ask you not to mix garden and kitchen waste.
