how do you dispose of semi-fluid food waste?

I always flush it down the toilet too. I can’t see the problem with that. After all, other things more solid than urine get flushed down there! I flush things like leftover soup and baked beans down the toilet.

It's already been explained several times that the water companies don't want anything other than human waste and toilet paper down the toilet. Just because you think it's okay to flush food doesn't make it okay. You are contributing to fatbergs and causing big problems.

I have urban foxes living in the grounds of the business park behind me and I put food scraps out most nights for them. Its gone by morning. Foxes are omniverous and will eat most things - including rats and mice if they catch them. Why throw waste food scraps in the bin if some little thing can eat it up?

This, I can’t imagine ever flushing food waste into the sewage system. I’m not usually squeamish but yuk

Maybe attitude to human waste varies. anong people and places.
Some farmers used to hoard it (contents of septic tank) and spray on crop fields as fertiliser. That has been banned now by the EU.
Another problem - how do you clean out mayonnaise jars? After all mayonnaise is mainly oil. I can't digest it.

For people who are very eco minded, a composting toilet is an option.

We rarely have any waste, after some time I’m disciplined to just cook for two, if there’s a small amount left, I’ll eat it for brunch the next day.
Mayonnaise jars Fennel hot water, w up liquid and a good shake, I then tip it on a rough bit of grass in the back garden.

I eat leftovers cold so there’s usually nothing left, except perhaps a small amount which goes for compost.

This week's food waste consisted entirely of teabags as the bag fabric is not biodegradeable. They were from a box I was given. We usually use leaf tea which is 100% biodegradeable and goes on the compost heap,

We have been told to put tea bags in with the food waste.

As I said before - We don't have food waste caddies etc. from our Council.
What happens to the contents anyway?

The contents are usually taken to an anaroebic digester, described as:

Anaerobic digestion is the process by which organic matter such as animal or food waste is broken down to produce biogas and biofertiliser. This process happens in the absence of oxygen in a sealed, oxygen-free tank called an anaerobic digester.

Hey there, It is not easy to dispose of food waste in a garden or compost when we live in cities. It was challenging to figure out and dispose of leftovers and other waste items once we moved to Toronto. We learned about these disposable bin setups from our neighbour, who comes and collects the garbage and all we have to do is phone them. After a year of using their services, I discovered them to be highly cost-effective, simple, and convenient. I hope this piece of knowledge was helpful to you.

Fennel I never have lefts overs as I eat everything I cook. I batch cook enough soup for my lunches and dinners both last 6 days . I keep in the fridge. And reheat. As my health is iffy it means I always have food in my fridge. I cook from scratch cheaper and healthier. Peels go into the bin as I don't want to compost.
