Food waste releases greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide when it is taken to the tip and buried in landfill. To reduce these nasty gases from polluting the fresh air in Forbes, only buy the food you need to avoid any wastage. If you do have excess food, you can donate it to Havannah House if it is not out-of-date. Otherwise, compost the food in the green lid FOGO bin.
Textiles cannot be recycled in the yellow lid bin, but there are other ways of ensuring it does not end up in landfill.
