Sorting biowaste at home
Biowaste makes up a large part of household waste by weight, and it is turned into biogas and soil. In most built-up areas, biowaste must be sorted separately or composted. This guide helps you set up sorting in your kitchen so that it does not smell or become a nuisance.
You will need
- A small biowaste caddy or holder for the kitchen
- Biodegradable bags, paper bags or newspaper
- Your municipal waste company’s sorting instructions
- The housing company’s or property’s biowaste bin
