The city council in Wellington, New Zealand is embracing green issues with the
start of a new scheme entitled Kai into Compost.
Now I am waiting to hear that this is a widespread practice throughout all forward thinking cities but Wellington is trailing the scheme to collect kitchen waste from food outlets and turn it into compost.
A truck collects kitchen waste from 50 hotels, supermarkets, restaurants and other food serving establishments and dumps it in a municipal compost plant.17% of waste that ends up in landfall is food waste which breaks down into harmful leachates and methane this can only be an environmental sound policy. They hope to extend the collection to household food waste shortly.
