Haven't joined up yet, but have taken his card and am thinking about it, even though I wrap up all food left-overs, put them in another bag, and then everything goes in a black bin bag before disposing in the domestic bin.
Does get a bit smelly. Mmmm .. very enterprising ... will think about it.

Didn't see it, but he explained had some sort of special 'vehicle' which lifted it and did it all for them ... so that would have been heavy capital I expect initially. All we had to do was leave it out on the drive after every other domestic bin collection (in my case Wednesdays), and that's when they would treat it.
