Do you even have the vaguest idea of what compost is ? Google it, there are companies that take the brown bin waste and process it.

Compost is sold in every garden center in the world, that what the brown bin waste potentially can be used for.

Farmers.

If you keep an eye on your local council's website they might distribute some of it back to residents from time to time.
