What is food waste?

Food waste refers to a variety of organic materials (foods) that are suitable for disposal in our designated food bins. These items can be composted or processed to produce renewable energy. Common food waste includes:

  • Fruit and vegetable scraps
  • Leftover cooked or uncooked food
  • Dairy products
  • Plate scrapings
  • Tea bags and coffee grounds
  • Spoiled or expired food products

However, it’s important to note that certain items should not be included in food waste bins, such as cooking oil, fat or lard, large bones, and food wrappings.

Food waste bins are for food waste only; other waste types, such as dry mixed recycling or general waste, have their own delegated bins. Some of the items that you should NOT add to your food waste are: fats and oils, large bones, contaminated packets, general waste, electrical items, chemicals, or rubble.

Great news! Food waste IS NOT disposed of in landfills or incinerated. All the items allowed for food waste disposal are repurposed. This means that your food waste is collected and used for either composting or anaerobic digestion. This is why it is vital to separate waste types, like dry mixed recycling or general waste, as if your food waste is contaminated, it cannot be used. By disposing of your different waste types in different bins, more waste is able to be recycled or repurposed, avoiding the unnecessary use of landfills or incineration.
