As food waste cannot be collected in a skip the best thing to do with it is compost it!

What is the Eden Project?
A former CIWM Award winner for Environmental Excellence, the Eden Project has become a composting journey.

Since it started turning its kitchen scraps and café leftovers into compost for its world famous gardens, the Eden Project has now diverted 100 tones of food waste from landfill.
An onsite composter was installed in 2005 and now claims to convert around 90% of its food waste into a soil enhancement product used in gardens and on its range of plants.

The Operations Manager says ” the whole composting process is a great educational tool for visitors, because they see the journey of their food from the plate through to the plant. It starts as they sort waste from their trays into different containers, and ends as they pass by the composting plant which has deliberately sited near once of the public car parks.”

Three years ago Wales produced twenty five million tonnes of waste. From the seven million tonnes handled by our waste facilities in Wales in 2007, around half of the waste, went to landfill sites. These landfills have eight years of space remaining, which because of the way we live our life will never be enough. And it is not good for our environment.

We need to review what we do with our rubbish and recycling is part of the answer. Trying to reuse it before we bin it is a sensible option.

Val Hunt is an artist who is actioning this plan.

She uses recyclable manufactured materials such foil, take-away containers, computer parts and especially metal from drink cans. Much of her inspiration comes from natural forms. Patterns, colours and logos often appear on the finished, expertly crafted objects.

The Alchemist’s Garden is an inspiring, exciting new exhibition full of exotic plants, birds, pond life and wildlife all constructed from throw away material.

This exhibition unites two of Val Hunt’s touring exhibitions: Reincarnated Rubbish and the Alchemist’s Garden in one. Reincarnated Rubbish is Val Hunt’s touring solo exhibition.

’Reincarnated Rubbish’ and ’The Alchemist’s Garden’ are full of witty, humorous, imaginative and thought provoking constructions which will wet the appetite and encourage everyone to experience the fun of creative recycling.

Her exhibition runs from 7th September until 7th October 2009 at the Washington Gallery in Penarth and is worth a visit.

As of the 1st of April, the Government imposed increase for Landfill Tax will take place. More than likely this will affect the price of hiring a skip bin, as the suppliers of the skip will have to cover the increased disposal costs. Get in quick and place you order now before the prices increase! You are able to book your skip up to 4 weeks in advance at www.bookaskip.co.uk.
