Food waste is the largest volume of avoidable material that goes into Brisbane
landfill every year, representing 24% of the average rubbish bin contents from
Brisbane homes. Brisbane City Council is committed to a clean, green city with less
landfill. With many homes and business across Queensland affected by floods and
power outages in recent days, it’s important to remember that food waste needs to
be disposed of safely and correctly in order to prevent cross-contamination of non-
spoiled food and storage facilities.
Kitchen waste and other organic waste are two of the most under-recycled waste
streams – commonly going into general rubbish when actually they’re a nutrient-rich
resource. With private waste companies specializing in rubbish removal and
recycling service, we can reduce the amount of waste that will sending to landfill,
while contributing to high quality composts, premium soils, soil conditioners and
potting mixes that can be used for land rehabilitation and soil improvement.
Recycling your organic and kitchen waste creates a closed loop where this
valuable resource becomes part of a new supply chain. Pre-plate food waste, also
known as kitchen waste, is perfect for recovery as it doesn’t contain contaminants
like serviettes and meat that reduce the quality of the product and require additional
processing. It’s an opportunity to really push your sustainability agenda by reducing
your waste to landfill by up to 50% – while giving back to the environment with
nutrient-rich resources to rejuvenate degraded land.
