As summer barbecues increase, proper waste sorting becomes crucial. Many food items commonly grilled – such as sausages, halloumi, corn, and marinated meats – come in plastic packaging that should be recycled. However, only empty plastic packaging is accepted in plastic recycling bins; rinsing is not required, but scraping food residue is. Marinades and leftover food scraps from grilled meats can be wiped with paper towels and disposed of with biowaste. Packaging from berries, like strawberries, also belongs in plastic recycling. Correctly sorting this waste ensures efficient recycling processes and reduces landfill contributions.
