...Organic
household waste is food and garden waste.
Organic
waste is a problem if sent to landfill, because it
is impossible to separate out from other waste once
mingled, and will rot producing methane, a greenhouse
gas responsible for global warming.
The
best way to dispose of organic waste is to compost
it either through a centralised composting scheme
run by your council or at home.
Find
out if your council has facilities for taking garden
waste for composting or you may be able to separate
kitchen waste for a kerbside collection scheme if
one exists in your area.
Alternatively,
build or invest in a home composter for the garden
or try a worm bin for indoor use!
Check
to see if your council supplies reduced-cost recycling
bins.
