Would you like to help improve compost quality?
Vegetable, fruit, and garden waste plus food scraps are processed into compost and green gas. This is important for the environment. By separating waste better and not putting residual waste in the food and garden waste bin, you help improve compost quality. Will you join in? More information on what can or cannot go in the food and garden waste bin can be found at www.acv-afvalkalender.nl or in the ACV app.
