Ever wondered what happens to food waste after it’s collected? One way is anaerobic digestion, where food waste is turned into renewable energy ⚡

👉 There’s also another method called in-vessel composting. Keep tuned, we will show you how that works in our next video!

Not sure if you can recycle food waste from home? Check @RecycleNow’s Recycling Locator at https://t.co/YBewJFQM97, or check with your local council.

Recycling can be confusing! Misleading information can lead to the wrong stuff ending up in the recycling bin. That’s called contamination, and it could cause the whole truckload to be rejected. Not sure where something goes? Visit our search tool - https://t.co/qgni13GLWk ♻️

By recycling food waste in your caddy, you have helped lower emissions, generate electricity to power households throughout the county and saved funds which can now be used to support other essential services ♻️

Top tip! Many fruits such as strawberries and grapes stay fresher for longer if kept in their individual punnets in the fridge. Colder temperatures slow down the ripening process, allowing you to get more out of your fruit 🍓
