Helping You Reduce Household Waste

In light of the introduction of new government legislation all households in the country will be paying for their waste on a pay by weight basis from the 1st of July onwards.
Pay by Weight is based on the principle of “the more you waste, the more you pay.”  In practice, this also means that if you waste less, you will be rewarded by paying less.
So, “how do we waste less?” we hear you ask! At Barna Recycling, we have decided to provide you with a regular blogpost full of helpful tips on how you can reduce your household waste! Read our first blogpost on smart meal planning and shopping to reduce food waste!
