What to do with food waste if do not have composter and council does not collect food?

[crokky]

We live in an area where the council don't provide little food bins and won't collect food at all. (food such as egg shells, tea bags, peelings etc that should be compostable).

My garden is not massive and I really don't have the time or skill to do composting myself.

I put compostable waste into brown compostable bags. Then I have no idea where to put them! At our local tip, there is no place for this sort of waste either. What shall I do with it to avoid landfilling it?

Thanks for any help!

There's no skill at all in composting - does the council provide them? Basically you stick the bin on a bit of earth and lob the stuff in. That's it.

But if you don't want to - how would they ever know? Presumably you put standard rubbish in bin liners? Do they rifle through them?

This is good

bokashi composter

This website tells you if you can get subsidised bins from your council.

Do you have nearby friends / an allotment site that might like extra compost material?

we have no garden at all (upstairs flat) and bokashi bin ours and then we plan on freecycling it (you'd be suprised who wants it!), giving it to a mate/downstairs flat with a garden. Bokashi compost is quite acidic though so it has to be left longer or something.

We have a wormery - we can put all food waste (uncooked), contents of hoover bag and toilet roll innards in it and the worms gobble their way through it and provide lovely rich soil compost as well as liquid compost.
