Worried your rubbish bin is getting full now it’s collected fortnightly?
Here are some simple tips to minimise your household rubbish.
- Put all food leftovers in your food and garden bin
- Bag your soft plastics separately in a bread bag for the week, squash them down, tie it up, and add to your bin
- Check what can go in the recycling bin
- Shop with a list so you buy only what you need and check your pantry before going to the supermarket
- Shop local, not online to reduce and avoid plastic packaging
- Take reusable bags to the supermarket
- Instead of cling wrap, use reusable food covers or containers.
