These young volunteers are making a difference in their Joo Chiat community with their food composting project.
Did you know? Food waste is one of the biggest waste streams in Singapore.
Turning Food Waste Into Garden Gold – a project under the Community Volunteer Scheme that is supported by Tote Board in partnership with People’s Association – sees some composting action. These young volunteers go around the Joo Chiat community to collect food scraps or perishables and turn them into compost – natural fertiliser that is then harvested and used in the garden.
