ESTATE LIVING FOOD WASTE COLLECTION
Why is throwing food waste in a dustbin bad?
- Environment – methane gas is generated from rotting food waste at landfills.
- Legislation – ban of food waste to landfill by 2027.
- Social – undignified jobs for informal waste pickers scrounging through contaminated waste and spreading of diseases through rat infestations.
- Economic – weekly collections are bad for the environment and unnecessary when food waste is handled correctly.
What do you need to join the movement of keeping food waste out of your dustbin?
A counter container to collect food scraps
Bokashi Bran® bucket (straining tray and tap included)
Measuring scoop
Bokashi Bran®
Monthly bokashi required – 1kg bokashi
How the system works?
- Food waste is collected in the counter
container in the kitchen. - Each day, it is emptied into the Bokashi Bran® bucket.
- 2 scoops of bokashi are added to each layer.
- Tap off the bokashi tea for your garden to flourish.
- Once a month, a collection team will empty the food waste and leave the Bokashi Bran® bucket outside your door.
- Residents must wash their buckets before
starting again. - Every 3 months, you will get a free bag of compost.
