Recycling your food waste

 

 

 

 

 


• Reduce food waste by not over catering or throwing out leftovers.
• Buy in bulk and store food in reusable containers to reduce packaging waste.
• Avoid plastic wrap by storing leftovers in the refrigerator in bowls covered with a saucer or a small plate or in washable containers.
• Use towelling face washers as serviettes for family meals instead of disposable ones or tissues.                                                               
• Choose items that are durable and reusable rather than disposable ones.  For example, choose sponges instead of paper towels, crockery instead of paper or plastic plates and cup.
• Think about using your food scraps to make your own mulch
