… Find out how to compost your food scraps and organic waste. … Recycle food waste and start composting …
Why recycle food waste?
Food waste can seem dirty, smelly or off-putting, but it is an incredibly valuable resource that is packed with nutrients that plants need to thrive. Recycling food waste at home is not only beneficial for your garden but also fosters a deeper connection to your environment and what you consume.
While your FOGO bin is perfect for keeping your food and garden waste out of landfill, recycling it yourself at home is easy and cost effective as you spend less on commercial fertilisers and soil conditioners.
