Did you know that food waste contributes to a staggering 6% of global greenhouse emissions? 😳 Here are five easy steps to help cut down on food waste right in your kitchen! 🥘 Meal Prep Magic: Get ahead by planning your meals for the week. Crafting a shopping list and sticking to it can help you avoid impulse buys and minimise food waste. 🍌 Store Smartly: Keep fruits, veggies, and perishables fresh longer. Try using airtight containers, store items at the ideal temperature, and learn which foods should be stored separately to prevent spoilage. 🤩 Love Leftovers: Leftovers aren't just thrifty, they're delicious! Embrace your creativity by incorporating leftovers into new recipes, reducing the urge to throw away excess food. 🏷️ Get To Know Food Labels: Get savvy about those "best before" and "use by" dates. Remember, "best before" means it's about quality, and "use by" indicates safety. Consuming food past its "best before" date is often perfectly fine and minimises waste. 🌱 Composting Brilliance: Divert food scraps from landfills by starting a home compost bin. Our Open Top Steel Drums make an excellent choice to kickstart your composting journey. Compost enriches your soil for gardening and helps reduce methane emissions from decomposing organic matter. There you have it, five simple ways to cut down on food waste right at home! 💚🍽️ #fyp #bigdug #RecycleWeek #RecyclingTips #RecyclingHacks

100 billion pieces of plastic are thrown away by UK households every year. 🤯 Wondering how you can make a difference? 🤔 We've got you covered with small actions that make a BiG impact! 🛍️ Reduce Single-Use Plastics: Switch to reusable containers, bottles and bags instead of single-use plastics. It's a simple switch that can significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste generated. ♻️ Know Your Guidelines: Get to know your local recycling guidelines to ensure you're recycling correctly. Proper sorting is key to making sure items get recycled effectively. Check your local council's website for more information! 🚫 Say No to Plastic Straws and Cutlery: Opt for alternatives like paper or metal straws and biodegradable cutlery. These choices help reduce the consumption of plastic items that often end up as waste. #RecycleWeek #RecycledPlastics #SustainableAlternatives #RecyclingTips #RecyclingHacks #BiGDUG #fyp

Let's talk METAL recycling! Here's a fun fact: Only 45% of British households currently recycle everyday metal items, like foil and aerosols 😲 But here's the good news! Recycling metal at home is a breeze. Simple tasks like scrunching your tinfoil, collecting bottle caps and saving can tabs are quick and easy ways to recycle at home. By recycling metal, you're not just decluttering; you're conserving valuable resources and energy, reducing the need for raw material extraction. So, the next time you reach for that refreshing bottle or unwrap your delicious sandwiches, don't forget to pop your waste metal into the recycling bin! Every little bit counts 💪 Please note: For the most accurate guide on what can be recycled, check your local council's website. #RecycleWeek #RecycledMetal #RecyclingTips #RecyclingHacks #BiGDUG

Did you know recycled paper produces 73% less air pollution than if it was made from raw materials? Yep, our minds are blown too! 🤯 Paper really is an eco-hero, so when it comes to your waste paper and used cardboard, make sure to peel off any plastic tape and pop them in the recycling bin to keep the eco-friendly cycle going! ♻️ 📦 #RecycleWeek #recycledpaper #RecyclingTips

Did you know that recycling 1 plastic bottle will power a 60w light bulb for 6 hours? 💡 Small actions, BiG impact! ♻️ 🍼 Squash plastic bottles before recycling to save space in recycling bins and transport vehicles. This not only reduces the environmental footprint but also allows for more efficient recycling processes! 🍓 Clean and empty glass jars as residual food or liquids can contaminate the recycling stream. When glass is properly cleaned and recycled, it can be reused, saving energy and resources in the manufacturing process. 🗑️ Check your waste to ensure the right materials go to the right place, e.g. plastic toys or rigid household plastic items shouldn't go in your recycling bin. This helps reduce contamination, making the recycling process more efficient and effective! P.S.
