Research by Friends of the Earth has found that more than 80% of people separating food waste for disposal say that the practice is not a nuisance. More than half of those who do not have food waste containers also agree.
This dispels the slop bucket myth being propagated by the Daily Mail, Eric Pickles and others.
At the CEO Summit the Prime Minister told me that "they are not slop buckets". I know this, having supplied many millions of kitchen and kerbside caddies to households around the UK, but it is good that the man at the top shares this philosophy.
FoE waste campaigner Julian Kirby said:
“It’s a load of rubbish that food waste collections are smelly and unpopular - most people think they’re hassle-free and want all councils to provide them. As food prices rise, it is even more important that we cut waste and recycle the scraps that cannot be eaten, and we can make genuinely renewable energy from what is left over. David Cameron must build on the success and popularity of recycling by setting a goal to halve the rubbish England throws away by the end of the decade.”
Hear hear.
