Did you know that scraping your jars and cans clean can save kilograms of food every year?

When we toss a jar of peanut butter, pasta sauce, or yogurt into the recycling with food still stuck inside, it adds up to a huge amount of needless waste.

· Use the right tool: Keep a small silicone spatula in your kitchen drawer to get every last drop out of jars.

A quick scrape helps your wallet and our planet. Clean your containers before you wash or recycle them—because every little bit counts!

Don’t underestimate your vegetable scraps! Carrot tops can become pesto, broccoli stems can be sliced into slaw, and vegetable trimmings can be saved for homemade stock. And when food really can’t be eaten, composting keeps those nutrients in circulation. When organic waste goes to landfill, it produces methane—a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Get creative with your scraps and keep food in the circle.

Let’s break it down even more, consider backyard composting, purchase a composter at the Canborough Transfer Station
