GOVERNMENT plans for slop buckets' for left-over food has been rubbished by council chiefs.
The leaked plans, which were due to be published on Thursday, may be too complicated for people to use, Worcestershire council experts have warned.
The plans were contained in A Waste Strategy for England 2007 and were due to be unveiled by Environment Secretary David Miliband.
Jeremy Howell-Thomas, project development officer for waste management services at Worcestershire County Council, said there was already an effective scheme in place for dealing with kitchen food waste.
About six per cent of kitchens across Worcestershire are fitted with food waste disposal units.
They grind up waste and add them to sewage so it can create methane and other bio gases as part of a system of "anaerobic" digestion, part of the Waste Mission Impossible scheme.
