More cooking, eating and drinking at home is generating more domestic food waste than ever. When you do have food waste, dispose of it properly in your brown bin. All householders using a licensed waste collection service have a right to access details of how much waste they produce, including the weight and type of waste. “Knowing what items can be put in a recycling bin is an effective means of managing waste bin levels,” says Elaine Phillips, head of marketing and communications at Repak. Consuming only what we need means paying less to dispose of the waste.
