Sadly we don't have are not availed with the receptacles for such things in these parts. I blame Thatcher or something, it's grim up North you know?

Although you are not in the same Local Authority area as me, I would suspect you are not meant to put food waste into your "recyclables" bin (blue bin in my area, not sure about yours). As you say, separate collection of food waste is not currently applicable here, food waste goings in with the "non-recyclables" (black bin in my area, not sure about yours).

Yep, grey for general, blue for recycling and we have green for gardens

You could always volunteer to help out for a day on a Devonshire organic farm.
I'm sure someone on the forum knows one.

I know one, but don't volunteer. The owner is loaded.

We nearly had seven here until Sunak saved us from all that nonsense.

Definitely Thatchers fault, she was no friend to the planet.
So not as far north as Scotland shire..
My boy up North (Glasgow) has a food waste bin ..
But they're all rather more civilised up there right🙄
Green for gardens...🙂
So if you've got a garden you could do your own composting..💚
Or if that's not possible there's always bokashi..😇

Own composting is not always possible
We have a garden but it is just grass - no plants except a few well established ones that just get pruned and/or trimmed
Hence no use for compost
We do have a green bin which gets collected every 2 weeks - but we have to pay for it
at the moment we have a blue bin for recycling and grey for "rubbish"
Down the road they have the famous purple bins that denote Scousers
Not sure if they intend to standardise the colours - it would cause a BIG fuss in Scouse land (in which I have never lived - my Mum would have liked me to make that clear!!! - I live in Cheshire)

Aye, that's our problem. Patch of grass, small shed. Bugger all else. Might have more options when I get to being a bit more creative with it, but I'm trying to draw a book so the outdoors will have to wait!

That was my approach, although I don't think the publisher was much interested in the journalists, so there was no conflict.
Many of the appraisal form questions were based on sales targets, customer service, teamwork and the like.
Us hacks don't sell anything, we don't service customers, and we are lone wolves.
There were some years when the news editor didn't get around to appraisals.
