🎃 Don’t let food waste give you a fright! 👻

When Halloween is over, make sure your pumpkin goes into your food waste caddy instead of the bin. 🍂

Remove candles, tea lights, glitter, stickers and any other embellishments first and cut larger pumpkins into smaller pieces, and pop it into you food waste caddy.

Don’t let food waste give you a fright... make your pumpkin disappear overnight (the right way!) 🎃✨

Have you started to think about your Halloween outfit yet? Whether its shopping secondhand to find the perfect 'new to you' outfit, swapping old outfits with friends or making one yourself. Any of which are preferable than buying new, as according to Hubbub, 40% of Halloween costumes are only worn once before they’re thrown away!
