Over 60,000 households across South Kesteven will have their food waste caddies emptied
from today and Stamford's day is today in the main. Like Rutland, they're weekly and are being collected on your regular bin day. The council advises households to compost as much as you can, but anything that goes on a plate can be collected. Separate food waste will be sent to anaerobic digestion facility in Lincolnshire where it will be turned into fertiliser for agriculture and bio gas to generate renewable electricity for homes. Anaerobic digestion uses microorganisms to break down food waste. It happens in an enclosed system without oxygen. As the waste breaks down it gives off methane which is collected and converted into bio gas and used to generate electricity, heat or transport fuels. It also creates nutrition rich digestate which can be used as fertiliser.
