Food waste reduction

Program:

Location:

ACT

Administered by:

ACT Government

Food waste takes up one-third of our rubbish bins. Find free ideas, recipes, facts and resources to help reduce food waste and save you money.

The ACT Government has also commenced a pilot project collecting food organics and garden organics (FOGO) from around 5,000 households in select suburbs. The bins in pilot suburbs will be collected each week and processed into compost in Canberra.
