What is in your black bag?
The auditing of DCC rubbish bags collected from the kerbside indicate that although the Dunedin public are great recyclers 70% of the contents of the bag are recoverable resources!
- 45% Food Scraps & Green Waste: can be composted and provide a fantastic resource for the garden, enriching the nutrient base within the soil. Methods include outdoor composting, worm farms and Bokashi bucket systems
- 25% Recyclable Materials: these are items that don't need to go to landfill
Imagine how much money you would save reducing your waste by 70%!
