Food waste trial an eye-opening environmental success

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Hi neighbours,

A five-month food-scraps collection trial run by Palmerston North City Council has saved 16,010 kilograms of food from going to the landfill.

It was instead turned to compost at the Awapuni Resource Recovery Park.

Central Government has announced that all councils will have to set up a food waste collection service by 2030.

Do you already separate your food scraps for compost, or does it go in the trash or down the insinkerator?

These are still at Mitre10 at the price of $14.20 for 5 bags as of 2nd July. They have not gone up in price to the new PNCC maximum price of $19.00 as was going to happen on the 1st of July (to my knowledge), whether they are the new price at other outlets I do not know?
