text: Green waste does make more sense, it is the term commonly used.
  
  Food waste, alone, is a new one on me. The greatest volume of green waste generated comes from gardens, grass cuttings etc. Here we have a wheely bin for green waste, which we also put food waste into. These are commonly collected as part of household kerbside recycling collections. 
  Dedicated green waste is generally at larger recycling centres and is normally used when you have too much waste for the green bin collection, tree pruning. Very unlikely to be food waste.
