Food waste is no longer be to be disposed of using the garden waste bin. If you do generate food waste, the most environmental ways to deal with it are:

• Donate in-date goods and excess harvest to neighbours or food banks
• Turn excess vegetables and fruit into freezeable soups and sauces
• Put vegetables, fruit and garden waste on your compost heap
• Use a wormery for food waste that cannot be home composted

You can find useful advice on how to store and use excess and leftover food on the Love Food Hate Waste website.
