It's a no-brainer, really.
It costs £100 for every tonne of waste being sent to a landfill site. It costs £40 for every tonne of food waste that is recycled. If it was my money - and hey, it is, it's my council tax - then I know which one I'd choose.
Thankfully, Edinburgh Council has decided the same thing, and after a successful trial is now planning to roll out food recycling bins across the city.
It's easy to say that we should be composting all of our food waste, but not so easy to do when you live in a tenement flat with only one houseplant! Hopefully this scheme will see residents finding something useful to do with all that food that goes to waste.
