well that is not quite correct, you can, but you are likely to face bin fines - which typically run at £110 but which can now in some cases reach £500, the ban on landfilling of food waste - and also aluminium, glass and wood - is being prepared by Environment Secretary Hilary Benn, it comes amid rising fears that the scheme will cause hygiene problems and encourage vermin, in a trial at 94,000 homes in 19 council areas last year, a quarter of those taking part reported terrible smells and infestations of maggots, flies and rats, they said that in the summer the stench grows worse and the slop buckets attract even more vermin,
in my day slops at schools were collected by the "pig man" and feed to his pigs, great way to recycle, but guess what? yep, you guessed it, that practice was banned by the government, so now all school slope have to go to the landfill sites, I wonder how schools are going get around this one, 'you will eat your school dinner or detention for you laddie!'
the threat of EU sanctions is, however, more substantial, Brussels is to start collecting heavy fines from British councils after 2013 if landfill reduction targets are not met, dam! our real masters are behind all of this!
