I remember that myself Paul. Apparently all this food is going into some great machine that turns the food waste into Methane. (I thought Methane was a primary cause of the so-called Global Warming effect!)

If released in to the atmosphere then yes, but when contained and burned as fuel it produces less CO2 and more heat/energy than other hydrocarbon fuels.

Moral of story - light all your farts.

What as in Dance of the flaming A.......s lol (Method in Madness comes to mind!)

Sorry I am talking rubbish now, oh no that was the subject anyway! :)

Type in Slop Buckets on your server and read what the papers report along with comments from the public.

Here in Holland, private houses don't do it but most restaurants have their slops collected by a bi-weekly lorry. It does the rounds of Leiden and fills up - then takes it all to a farm where I think it's fed to the pigs.

You can always tell which mornings the lorry's been through the streets cos there's a trail of sour liquid on the ground and the putrid smell is everywhere...blurgh.

I Remember the ..slops bin.. in the Alphas bar.
10p pints...ooohhhh my head...

Those bins would really have given the pigs disease!
