Join our week to Love Food Hate Waste!
16 November
Recycle for Your Community will be touring East London to show residents how they can use the food they usually throw away to cook delicious meals, and save some money.
During European Week for Waste Reduction, 20 – 27 November, we will be running Love Food Hate Waste events to help residents to save money and reduce their food waste.
The Love Food Hate Waste campaign estimates that households in the United Kingdom throw away 7.2 million tonnes of food every year, costing the average family with children £680 a year, over £50 a month.
What's on?
Cooking Demonstrations:
- Tuesday 22nd November - 11am-4pm at Barking Town Square, outside Town Hall
- Friday 25th - 11am-4pm at Ilford High Road
- Sunday 27th - 11am-4pm at Westfield Stratford City, in the Great Eastern Market
Demonstrations will feature live cooking and Q&A sessions with a professional chef on cooking, recipes and food. Residents can also pick up recipes packs and tip cards which will help them to make the most of the food they have.
