I see my neighbours bins every bin day overflowing and it’s got me wondering how much rubbish do you think you actually produce per person each week?
Not including any recycling, or waste food collection which is separate, just what we call the black bin here, I reckon we as a household of two on average we put less than two black bin bags out a fortnight, that’s less than half a black bag each a week.
We produce one kitchen trash bag a month. There are two of us, with a dog and cat.
Recycling and composting really go a long way
Is there any way to recycle food waste without it being ‘icky’ though? We have a council food waste bin, but it’s outside. I don’t really want it inside stinking the kitchen up. I don’t want to have to bring all my food waste outside every time.
