Worried your rubbish bin is getting full now it's collected fortnightly?

Here are some simple tips to minimise your household rubbish.

Put all food leftovers in your food and garden bin
Bag your soft plastics separately in a bread bag for the week, squash them down, tie it up, and add to your bin
Check what can go in the recycling bin
Shop with a list so you buy only what you need and check your pantry before going to the supermarket
Shop local, not online to reduce and avoid plastic packaging
Take reusable bags to the supermarket
Instead of cling wrap, use reusable food covers or containers.
