Love food hate waste

The local authorities in Dorset are supporting a South West Love Food Hate Waste Campaign, encouraging residents to reduce their food waste.

We can all do more to make the most of the food we buy, whether it's using up leftovers, keeping an eye on date labels or measuring portions, and this could save you up to £50 a month.

For lots more information including money saving top tips and recipe cards visit the south west love food hate waste website (opens in a new window).

You can also keep up to date on this campaign and other campaigns by following our Recycle for Dorset blog (opens in a new window).

Bournemouth Borough Council (opens in a new window) and Poole Borough Council (opens in a new window) are also supporting the campaign.
