With a slight adjustment in our habits and improved sorting practices, our garbage will be free of food waste, making it less attractive to animals. This change contributes to cleaner and more effective waste management, significantly reducing landfill waste.<\/p>\n
Not only do we want to encourage better sorting at source (recycling and composting), but the ultimate aim is to reduce the amount of waste produced at source.<\/p>\n
