Method of disposal of condemned food
Food condemned or voluntarily surrendered to the Public Health
Inspectors is disposed of by depositing in the Council's refuse barges at
the Central Depot at Gatliff Road, S.W.1.
Foodstuffs disposed of at this depot are removed by barge for land
reclamation by controlled tipping at Pitsea. No recovery or diversion of
any goods takes place at the central tipping site.
