SLOP BUCKETS

We don"t have one and I wouldn't anyway, as rarely have peelings, as I just wash the stuff and chop up ! Tea-bags I put on the garden!
I think they are a health hazard and in actual fact was reading that in last weeks paper.

I have a kitchen caddy and a larger one for putting out on bin day. I compost veg peelings so there is usually only the odd mouldy slice of bread, but last week, when the weather was muggy, it was crawling in maggots when I opened it ! In future I shall freeze any odd bits, good idea Terri!

Yes, I'm the same, TerriBull. I've never used the bin provided by our council for waste food, we have enough recycling boxes/bags to heft up our many steps to the pavement as it is!

I also freeze anything which might become smelly and dispose of it on bin day. We don't throw much food away anyway, and I put peelings, leaves and vegetable waste in the compost. The thought of a week's worth of scrapings and fatty bits decomposing in a lidded bucket turns my stomach - what do they do with it anyway?

We don't have slop buckets!
