Start saving food scraps for compost

Set up a small container for fruit and vegetable scraps.

Why it helps

Food scraps make up a large part of household waste. Composting or using a food waste service cuts this.

How to do it

1. Pick a lidded container.
2. Add peelings and coffee grounds.
3. Empty into a compost or food waste bin.

Make it easier

Collect scraps for one day.

Make it harder

Set up a compost heap or bin.

Don't add meat, dairy or cooked food to home compost unless your system allows it.
