Food Waste

One of the major components of the waste stream, but one that can be reduced by careful thought.

In the home, look at ways to reduce spoilage of perishable items, by buying only what you need, when you need it.

Reuse can be as simple as feeding your scraps to the dog - why buy Dog Food unnecessarily? Carefully label and freeze un-used food for later use. Turn those leftovers into another complete meal (Shepherd's Pie is a favourite).

Vegetable scraps can be composted or worm composted with your Green Waste - or just dig them back into the garden.
