You don’t -have- to, but -choose- to.
As we don’t -eat- banana skins, they are not ‘food’.
How many CCrs do/dont use the new food waste bins.

To date, collections started four weeks ago, we have put out a few chop bones and chicken legs. I have been recycling all compostable** waste, that includes both cooked and uncooked food, in my allotment bins for 40+ years. I'm not about to start giving a valuable resource to my local authority.
**When I say compostable, if it was once organic, within reason, it can be composted.
I usually pop our two or three bones in a neighbour's bin. I haven't inspected the contents of people's bins but out of interest I've picked them up by the handle. The weight of some is quite astonishing, the volume of food waste some households have leaves me gobsmacked. What's even more interesting is the waste is from houses occupied by people 40 years younger than me.

I dont eat potato or carrot feelings or egg shells but they all have to go in that bin.
