Why
Organic waste can be composted and turned into nutrient-rich soil instead of going to landfill. The best way to manage your food waste is to register here for a FOGO bin. Otherwise compost it at home, feed it to your chickens or place it into a worm farm. If you do not have any of these, you can place your food waste into the General Waste Bin.
