Why it matters
Food waste, garden waste and recyclable materials make up an average 55% of material in Selwyn red bins.
Food and garden waste sent to landfill produces greenhouse gases and loses nutrients that could enrich soils.
Waste sent to landfill puts pressure on landfill and increases costs for the community.
