On the streets of Worcester, many welcomed the upcoming introduction of a new food bin, but some were sceptical how many residents would embrace them.
“I think having the option there is good for people,” said Craig Betham.
“If the bin’s not there then people aren’t going to do it,” he said.
“Some people might do it… some people probably won’t do it,” said Jade Churchill.
“For me, I tend to just want to save the food, so maybe I’ll use it for the next day, just so it doesn’t go to waste.”
“Other people might do it to start with… I don’t think it will always be followed,” she said.
“I’ve lived in several countries… I think other countries have better approaches,” said Stephen Pain.
A former resident of Denmark and Japan, he said England had been “backwards” in not taking the step sooner.
