Results Roundup:
The total amount of waste was thirteen point seven six kilograms. Nine point zero six kilograms of this is already being composted or recycled.
Altogether there was four point seven kilograms of landfill waste and we thought that maybe one point eight two kilograms could be diverted if we recycle soft plastic, compost all food waste and try to compost paper towels.
We’re going to do another waste audit later in the year to see if our ideas make less landfill waste.
I look forward to the results from our next waste audit. Hopefully, by using our new hot composter and being more aware of how we can reuse and recycle 'rubbish' we will be able to reduce what we throw out.
