Can it be dug into the ground or is there some kind of environmental law against that?
30 tins' worth of food is not a large volume.

The problem is if you bury them, the cans will start to rust, and when you dig them up in a couple of years time, the food inside might have tainted, and won't taste the same. Not recommended.

I meant bury the contents, not the cans....
The cans can simply go into household recycling.

I take it you don't have a green bin?
Part of our green bin collection is garden waste, the other food waste which is bagged up separately and goes to an anaerobic digestion plant.

Personally on TINS I ignore the dates ..... to be honest I ignore a lot of the other useby/bestby - never had them when i grew up and just take good care
We do tend to throw chicken out if its gone past its date and kept in fridge ..... otherwise a few days usually isnt going to make a huge difference ..... and as said before - look at it, smell it, taste a small amount .....
