Many councils prohibit the use of under sink food macerators/food grinders for processing and discharging waste food to the drainage system.
They are also water intensive so would prove potentially costly with water charges.
Could you use a sink waste disposal unit to remove the need for a Brown bin and manually recycle the rest?
You'd be surprised just how organised you could get this. I recycle practically everything. Flatten out cardboard/paper packaging, tetrapaks, etc. Get into the habit of flattening our plastic bottles (biggest problem with recycling plastics being the space it takes up). Some of the recycling centres are excellent and will take practically everything so long as you have everything separated.Thanks so much for the advice. Ill look into bringing the recycling somewhere but I reckon it could end up with us not having time to drive wherever it is and heaps of rubbish building up in the kitchen!
Would be great if something could be done about this. So much unnecessary packaging with a view to pimping the product and no consideration for disposal (not to mention the time, energy and resources that went into making the unnecessary packaging to begin with).we wouldn't have so much of it if every single thing wasn't wrapped it totally unnecessary packaging.
