What's inside my bin?
Hmmm...but WHY should I look at what's inside my bin?
According to Foodbank Australia, Victorian households throw away 250,000 tonnes of food – enough to fill Melbourne’s Eureka Tower! The sad thing is, 65% of the food that is wasted in Victorian households could have been eaten.
