The town of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, is leading the way in how it manages its food waste, it has been revealed.Over 150 tonnes of food waste is being composted by local residents each month, which is better than anywhere else in the north of England, reports the Manchester Evening News.The results have suggested that the local councils decision to distribute food waste bins to 30,000 homes in the area was a wise move.Recycling manager for Oldham council, Mark Husdan, told the newspaper We were hoping that residents would embrace the new food recycling scheme and it really is proving to be a great success.But the amount of tonnage does reflect the amount of food that gets wasted and we are trying to encourage people to manage more effectively the food that they purchase.While composting is a fantastic way of lessening the environmental impact of food waste, some discarded food scraps will inevitably find their way into the sink and into the drainage system.This is why every household should consider the installation of a food waste disposal unit, such as those sold by leading manufacturer In-Sink-Erator.In-Sink-Erators range of disposal devices are easy to install and are well-constructed, with their powerful motors and ingenious grinding rings capable of reducing food waste to such a fine matter than it can be washed into drains with the minimum environmental impact.Each In-Sink-Erator model comes with a guarantee of 2-5 years.
