Tummy rumbling?! On the weekend we went for a wander around Port Macquarie Community Gardens to pick some fresh goodies for the Garden to Plate workshop. Shelly shared her clever tips and tricks to avoid food waste by growing your own, buying on a budget, storing smarter and finding things in the fridge to whip up a delish dish - like these tasty veggie fritters!
We learnt how to save food, money and time. You can too by registering for the free Food Smart program at https://mailchi.mp/midwaste/foodsmart

Reuse Reduce Recycle Midwaste Regional Waste Forum (Midwaste) comprises six Councils located on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Bellingen Shire, Coffs Harbour City and Nambucca Shire form the northern sub-region, Kempsey Shire and Port Macquarie-Hastings form the mid sub-region and Mid Coast Council comprise the southern sub-region. Together, the 6 Midwaste Councils encompass approximately 21,000 square kilometres.

Major industries in the region are farming and logging and the coast is a popular destination for tourists, families and retirees. Seasonal variations in population, due to the influx of tourists during the peak holiday periods, add a level of complexity to the region’s waste management. Waste generated from the additional population influences both the composition and the quantity of waste generated during the holiday seasons.

MIDWASTE is Proudly supported by these regional councils

This program is supported by the NSW EPA Waste Less, Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy.
