Every home in Hull will be given a new kitchen waste bin so
families can recycle their food scraps.
The proposed pounds6.7m scheme will see every household - an
estimated 100,000 - provided with a kitchen "caddie" and roll of
biodegradable bags.
This waste would be collected alongside a new service to pick up
garden rubbish.
Garden and food waste will be taken to a composting site and
processed.
The council will decide at a later date whether to sell the
compost back to homeowners, make it available at recycling sites or
give it to farmers.
Households with gardens will be provided with a five-litre caddie
and a large outdoor garden waste bin, while high-rise properties
will be excluded.
