The weather in the UK is getting decidedly colder! Car’s are iced up and roads are slippy. School children have got their hats and gloves on.
Winter is definitely on its way!
Simple Top Tip Tuesday – Recycling Food Waste
Keep a large Tupperware/Pyrex container with a lid in the kitchen for when you are preparing meals so that any peelings, or true food waste (that, which cannot be used for anything else) can be stored.
Peel directly into the container to save time and cleaning. Pop any other recyclable food stuffs in also throughout the day. Keep the lid on to reduce smells.
At the end of the day, as part of your kitchen routine – i.e wiping down counter tops and putting the rubbish out, take out the container directly to the recycling or compost bin.
Storing your waste in this way;
- Reduces time spent popping out to the bins – more efficient
- Keeps warmth in the house – saves energy/money
- Reduces the temptation to just throw the waste into the rubbish bin which won’t be recycled/reused – environmentally friendly.
