Tuesday 30 May 2023

According to Sustainability Victoria, the average Victorian household throws away $2,136 worth of food every year.

All of this food waste could fill Victoria’s tallest building, Eureka Tower.

Approximately 59% of food waste sent to landfill is avoidable. There are lots of easy and fun ways we can stop food waste ending up in landfill, while saving money and valuable resources.

During the challenge, each fortnight you’ll learn ways to:

  • Shop smarter
  • Store food better
  • Use your leftovers creatively
  • And much more!

You’ll also go in the draw to win 1 of 10 Swag starter packs to keep your refrigerated vegetables and fruit fresh for longer (available to Yarra residents only).
