I don’t throw food away but I do throw peelings or left overs, meat/fish bones. The council collects food waste in the green bin that also takes garden waste, trimmings, leaves, grass etc.
I compost some fruit/veg peel, dead flowers, garden waste but never meat - don’t want to encourage rats
Same here. I have 4 large enclosed recycled plastic bins, with lids- we bought from the Council 15 years or so ago. And another 5 wire bins. No meat, due to rats, foxes and badgers, etc. I keep all corrugated cardboard, soak it and tear up to add as a layer from time to time, to get right balance. And rotted manure, both horse and cow, from farmer next door but one, as accelerator. Each bin get emptied every 2 years on rotation.
