Food waste bins and bags
This year, we are also distributing food waste bins and bags. These allow you to separate kitchen waste such as food scraps, peels, and tea bags immediately. Supplies are also while stocks last.
From food waste to compost
The municipality thanks residents for properly separating vegetable, fruit, and food waste with this initiative. High-quality compost can be made from well-separated food waste. Did you know that a full food waste container can yield fifteen to twenty kilograms of compost? The better the waste is separated, the higher the quality of the compost.
Compost is ideal for gardens. It naturally improves the soil, helping flowers and plants grow better. It also regulates soil moisture. Mixed with garden soil, compost is suitable for all garden plants.
