Slop Buckets

[Gwyn Nicholas]

Gwyn,

I know I am going back a few years however when I was a lad I remember the "swill man" coming round every week. Don't really know why it stopped. But I think it may well have been something to do with pigs getting disease from it.

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.

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

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.

Steve,

Those bins would really have given the pigs disease!
