<p>Parliament’s ‘general waste’ stream is sent for incineration at an ‘energy from
waste’ facility. General waste bins in offices are clearly marked and are for food,
food contaminated packaging, crisps packets, tea bags, coffee grounds, disposable
coffee cups and take away meal containers.</p><p>The House authorities and their waste
contractor carry out audits of the general waste stream to identify opportunities
to move general wastes up the waste hierarchy, by avoiding the generation of wastes
in the first instance, and to identify ways to increase recycling where possible.</p>
