| Worcestershire County Council has worked with The County Surveyors Society and consultant Dr Tim Evans to produce an Environmental Impact Study of Food Waste Disposers. You can currently download a synopsis or the full report using the links below.
This study examines the financial and environmental impacts of food waste
disposers (FWD) and finds that they provide a cost-effective, convenient and hygienic
means of separating putrescible domestic kitchen food waste (KFW) at source and
diverting it from landfill. The study also finds that this route costs less and has a
smaller global warming potential than the routes comprising kerbside collection
followed by centralised composting or landfill.
