    Recycling bins.
    Sevenoaks District Council are having yet another change of bins. Just as we were getting used to the ones from last year. The latest to arrive is an indoor and outdoor food waste bin. There shouldn't be any food waste while people need to use food banks. 
    Far too much waste in this society. 
    Surely this is what we have in Bexley and is for the likes of vegetable peelings and scraps? 

    Hardly a parallel with food waste in society. 
    Is that all it's for? I havent bothered to read the leaflet. What a waste of plastic. Put it on a compost heap.

    It’s to reduce landfill and encourage recycling. Hardly a waste. 

    Not everyone has the need or space for a compost heap. 

    Be realistic.

    If compostable food waste ends up in landfill then surely that's a good thing. The ground will contain a tad of beneficial nutrients for any future life there. Meanwhile we're given more plastic bins to tick a pointless box

    Food caddy waste is typically sent to industrial Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants, where it is broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. This process creates renewable energy (biogas) to power homes and nutrient-rich bio-fertiliser for agricultural use.

    You are wrong - unless of course all local councils nationwide have got this wrong. 

    It’s about encouraging recycling and encouraging the right behaviours.

    Landfill produces methane through the anaerobic decomposition of organic waste—such as food, paper, and garden waste—by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. As waste is compacted and buried, oxygen is depleted, allowing methanogenic bacteria to thrive and turn organic matter into biogas, consisting of roughly 50% methane and 50% carbon dioxide. That's why old landfill sites have to be carefully managed, to control the gases produced.

    I remember seeing an active flare system burning off methane  at the Biffa landfill site in Greenhithe.  

    It seems there are plans to build 400 houses there now - not sure I'd fancy living there.

    It seems I am! 
    Note to self - research recycling!
    What I won’t concede is that Sevenoaks District Council wastes my council tax on a daily basis.

    And then get arsey when you ask what the salary is - I’m sorry that I’d like to know if the salary is enough for me to bother going through an interview.

    I know better these days but when I was a lot younger I went to an interview and found out the salary was significantly less than I was on. Pretty much ended the interview there and then.

    My mate lives on one of these in Rainham 

    He told me a story of the first time the active flare went off and he called the fire brigade, thought it was the end of the world starting in lower Rainham  🤣

    When he took the (very amusing) salt & pepper off the story we worked out what he was talking about "yeah mate, that used to be a landfill site" and genuinely if you didn't know what it was you would also think you were living in the end of days, or a hellmouth at least

    There is a small chance of that system failing and the land on which you live becoming aflame but given where that site is, and the Greenhite one your bigger risk is flooding anyway
