Scraps of wisdom

ACCORDING to weekend reports, the City of Edinburgh Council is today delivering two containers plus bags and instructions on the recycling of food waste, to be uplifted once a week.

I would be interested to know the cost per capita of this exerise.

There is no way that I would ever have more than half a bag of edible leftovers.

Being of pre-Second World War vintage, I was taught to use up edible leftovers and everything else went on the compost heap.

This is not possible if you live in a flat, but surely it is possible to pass these leftovers on to someone who has access to an allotment?
