Rejected petition Every home in the UK to have a food waste bin.

Every year in the UK we throw away 7 million tonnes of food - the equivalent of 260kg per household, per year. An area the size of Wales would be needed to produce all the food and drink currently wasted. Currently this all ends up in landfill, and there's enough in landfill already.

More details

We can help by recycling food waste by allowing it to be appropriately distributed and biodegraded to be used as compost.
