Widnes: Food waste disposal??

I've been around a relatives today and did a mass-clearout of their kitchen foods as i recognised that about 40% of the tinned food in the cupboards were infact out of date, talking years and not weeks/months.

I was aware that we had a Veolia waste plant in the local area but after asking around it seems they won't accept actual food waste like this. Been in such a predicament about it because my car has about 10-15 carrier bags full of tinned food which is obviously weighing it down.

I was considering just using a local waste metal bank, but i would suspect that they don't have an intent on using these waste banks for fully used foods.

The only other option is using the standard black-bins, but they're already full now and aren't scheduled to come for another week.

At a loss at the moment!

    Stick them in your pantry and then eat them yourself.

    Tinned food does last years rather than months beyond whatever advisory date is stamped on it, so I'm with Nada ...
