Some councils will collect but charge for doing so.  If you phone your council's environmental health office they will be able to tell you what is offered in your area.Yes.  Once it is in use you can keep it at room temperature, but room temp in the summer can easily go over the safe limit (25ºC or 77ºF).I wish I knew the answer to that one as it is a question that often crops up.  The food that you have at opposite ends of the day is usually very different, and what we eat for an evening meal is often a bit spicier than the more bland dishes we tend to have for breakfast, so that's a possible answer.</blockquote>
