00:00Hi, I'm Hal Dobbins from Lake Macquarie City Council.

00:04Do you know that Lake Mac residents help keep over 40,000 tons of garden and food organics

00:11out of landfill every year by using our food and garden organics service?

00:15It's a great job.

00:16And while that's really important, is that organic material breaks down in landfill and

00:21creates methane gas, which is a very potent greenhouse gas, way more potent than carbon

00:26dioxide.

00:27One of the easiest things you can do at home is recover your food waste, avoid food waste

00:32to start if you can, and remember, every scrap counts.
