• LIVING in a flat above the shops on Parkway, Veolia doesn’t collect our food waste.

I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with it, besides chucking it in the bin, since food in landfills produces methane, a greenhouse gas up to 25 times more potent than CO2.

While on the journey to discover what to do, I found some interesting facts I thought your readers might find interesting.

I learnt that Camden will subsidise home composting kits from www.getcomposting.com, you can get a 180-litre tumbler composter for only £5 with the subsidy.

Unfortunately, since our flat is a typical inner-London shoebox and far too tiny for compost, this does not quite work for us.

But I found another website called www.sharewaste.com which acts as a matchmaker for people with food waste and people who composts.

For now the closest collector is the Hoxton Trust in Hackney, but I hope some of readers heed my plea and sign up to be compost hosts to save us the trip.
