Charlotte from Manukau Beautification Trust and Emily from St Kentigern came to present to the Eco Leaders today. They were talking about the new food scrap bins that are coming in October.
Why are we getting new bins?
Food waste makes up 45% of landfill waste.
Food scraps will be turned into electricity for a whole town and compost for growing kai in Reporoa.

You can line the kitchen caddy container with compostable bin liners or paper or nothing but NOT PLASTIC.
The food scrap bins have a self locking handle. When they are up they are locked so animals can't get in and they won't spill over.
ALL food waste can go in the food scrap bins.
Only food scraps please no containers, garden waste or puppy poo.
Put your food scraps bin out weekly with your red bin.
FOOD SCRAP CHALLENGE
Decorate your kitchen caddy. The class with the best decorations will win a veggie garden and shared lunch.
Our Eco Leaders are going to present this information to our classes to help to get our whole Sunnyhills community on board with collecting food scraps for generating electricity and compost.
Thank you Charlotte and Emily!
