Food waste campaign

Oldham Council is on a mission to help you make the most of your food and reduce waste

In Oldham, 30% or 10,000 tonnes of all the waste in our general rubbish (grey bins) is food.

Food waste which could have been easily avoided. Not only does this cost the Council over £3m to dispose of each year but the environmental costs of growing, producing, manufacturing and transporting this food are staggering.
