Did you know Australian households throw away the equivalent of 7.7 million meals every single day? But together, we can turn food waste around.

Georges River Council has joined The Great Unwaste led by the national not-for-profit End Food Waste Australia (EFWA). This nationwide movement rallies all Australians who want to waste less food at home and help households across Australia have a positive impact on the planet, our people, and our pockets.
