Food Waste

Food Waste

Food waste includes leftover food scraps, fruit and vegetable peelings, and expired food. It is organic material that can break down naturally. 

 

Disposal Options

  • Food Waste – FOGO Bin
  • Food Waste – General Waste Bin

 

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.
