Meat

Leftover meat can be composted in your green bin alongside your garden waste.

Instead of sending food scraps to landfill where they rot and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, recycling food in the green bin creates compost that is used to nourish soils on Victorian farms, parks and gardens.

Reuse tip: Keep leftover meat in the fridge or freezer and put it in the green bin the night before collection. This can help to reduce the risk of bad smells.
