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 RecycleNow.com, 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 - orlo.uk/9wG8o ♻️

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 🍓

Little ones don’t stay little for long! Children’s clothes that can be re-worn, should always be donated. Not only is this more eco-friendly, but can also help support local families and charities #ZeroWasteWeek
