Many Clarence residents have a green lidded organics bin for all food and garden waste. Alternatives are to compost or place it into a worm farm. If you do not have either of these, you can place your food waste into your red lidded garbage bin.
Did you know?:
Australia produces 4.45 million tonnes of food waste every year. That’s almost 1000 kgs per household which is almost equal to a quarter of the food we buy. When food is thrown into landfill it breaks down and generates methane, a dangerous climate change gas.
