London will begin a Green Bin program the week of January 15, 2024.
A Green Bin is like a blue (recycling) bin, but for food waste such as fruit and vegetable skins, meat and chicken, spoiled leftovers, and other inedible food waste like bones. The Green Bin would be collected from your home at the curbside much like your Blue Box is.
(The green bins were delivered in my area (Hyde Park) this week.)
It's a good program tbh, helps keep food waster in a seperate container in the house so the trash does not smell as bad.
Instead you'll have a stinky sticky bin with week-long rotting veggies liquefying in the bottom.
A green bin program is not the solution. People need to compost at home.
You can buy either large compostable bags to line the entire bin or use small ones you tie shut and than toss those into the bin.
Also I see they mentioned Bones, that's something your backyard composter won't get hot enough to deal with.
