The Method of Disposal of Condemned Food
Condemned animal products where possible were sent to firms
specialising in the manufacture of glue and similar commodities.
Vegetable waste which was suitable was converted where practicable
into pig food under the Council's kitchen waste scheme. This
scheme terminated on 5th December, 1958 and since that date such
waste has been disposed of to an accredited pig feeding contractor.
