Seafood, including shells, can be composted in the green bin alongside your garden waste.
Seafood
Reuse tip: Shells from prawns, crabs, lobsters and other crustaceans can be used to create delicious seafood stocks, soups, and bisques.
To avoid smells when composting seafood, keep the scraps in the fridge or freezer and put them in the green bin the night before collection.
Restaurants, venues and seafood wholesalers can partner with The Nature Conservancy's Shuck Don't Chuck program to have oyster, mussel and scallop shells used in shellfish reef restoration projects.
