==Overview of Arrangements for Food Collection==

The collection of [[Food Waste]] can be via two main types of system:

* '''Segregated Collection''' - involves the collection of [[Food Waste]] in a separate smaller bin (often termed a caddy and around 24 litre capacity) and collected in a separate containment unit on a [[Refuse Collection Vehicle]] (often termed a pod), or as a separate compartment on a kerbside sort vehicle with the [[DMR]] collection system or on a specialist seperate food waste collection vehicle. The subsequent processing of the [[Food Waste]] is via [[Anaerobic Digestion]] or can be via [[In Vessel Composting]] if mixed with a suitable material to allow the process to work.

* '''Single Stream Co-mingled (fully Co-mingled)''' - involves the collection of [[Food Waste]] and [[Green Waste]] in one receptacle (usually a 240 litre bin) and collected in a single compartment vehicle. The subsequent processing of the mixed material is generally via an [[In Vessel Composting]] system but it is also possible to process in [[Windrow Composting]] if the material can be guaranteed to be free of cooked and raw meat in order to comply with [[ABPR]]

== Variations ==

The collection arrangements can therefore vary according to the type of broad approach, the containers used and the frequency of collection chosen by the relevant [[Waste Collection Authority]]. Collection arrangements will also vary according to the way the service is linked to the collection of Dry Recyclables, Green and Residual wastes streams - the combination of which is further set out in a separate page on [[Collection System Design]]

Below are the [[Waste Collection Authority|Collection Authorities]] that utilise this arrangement and listed below for comparative purposes.
