Food waste and leftovers

Find out how to reduce, reuse, compost and dispose of food waste.

For food waste reduction tips and ideas for meals made from leftovers, see our Food Savvy website. Also Love Food, Hate Waste website is a great source of inspiration for this too.

You can also follow Food Savvy Suffolk on Facebook where we will be sharing top tips, handy hints and recipe ideas.

You can put any leftover food, fruit and veg peelings, coffee grounds, teabags into your food waste bin at home.

Raw fruit and vegetables peelings as well as eggshells can be placed in a standard home compost bin.

Only specialist composting systems such as the HotBin or Bokashi kitchen digester can deal with all cooked food waste.

See a whole range of compost systems at subsidised prices on Get Composting.
