At home, bio -waste will inevitably accumulate, no matter how accurate all the food. All food waste in the kitchen is part of bio -waste.
Bio -waste recycling is important for the environment, as then energy and nutrients are reused. Sorting is also worth financially: recycling by saving the cost of the house, as the price of mixed waste is higher than bio -waste. Our houses have our own waste bins or suction pipes for bio -waste.
You can put in bio -waste eg.
- food residues and contaminated foods
- bones, egg shells
- fruit and vegetable shells and other parts
- coffee reindeer, tea bags and filter papers
- parts of the plant
- kitchen papers, handkerchiefs, napkins - absorb moisture
- solidified fat
- Small wooden sticks (ice cream and toothpicks)
The bio -waste bin does not belong to
- fluid
- biodegradable diapers and health bridges
- animal droppings
- sweep dust and vacuum cleaner bags
- soil and sand
- Plastic bags and packaging.
No bio -waste into the drain
Bio -waste must not be poured into the dwelling sewers, as food residues, and especially the fat in them, cause blockages in the piping. So remember to recycle!
Bio -waste soil and biogas
Bio -waste is treated by composting or rotting so that methane does not enter the atmosphere. Recycled bio -waste is utilized in energy production and also made mold.
This is how you keep your odors under control
Bio -waste, especially in the summer, may let odors into the apartment - a few help for this.

- Wash your bio -waste container clean.
- Cool the warm bio -waste and allow the waste to dry before placing in the bag.
