Local primary school students (K-6) are invited to enter our Kids Truck Art Competition and create an artwork around the theme ‘Food scraps go in your green-lid bin’. Four winning artworks will be printed on our waste trucks for everyone to see!

Did you know that ALL kinds of food waste can go into the green lid bin, along with garden organics? Kids are encouraged to be creative and explore the types of food waste that can go into the green-lid bin, including items that people might not be aware of:

Meat, chicken and fish leftovers/bones
Half eaten sandwiches and mouldy bread
Leftover take away like pizza crusts, burgers and pasta/rice
Banana peels, watermelon skins and any kind of fruit/vegetable scraps
Junk food, left over chips, cheese and crackers
Anything left over from your plate after meals
ALL FOOD SCRAPS!!
