Full-time whistle blown? Time to build your LEFTOVER LINEUP โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿฅช Before you order a late night takeaway or let forgotten fridge bits get relegated to the bin, make a last-minute sub and give your leftovers a secondhalf comeback between two slices of bread. Tasty bites. Minimal waste. Champion-level savings. #Leftovers #WorldCup #LoveFoodHateWaste

The humble sandwich is our MVP this World Cup โšฝ๐Ÿฅช When the final whistle blows, use up whatโ€™s already in your fridge for a midnight snack, quick brekkie or legendary lunch - saving money, time and precious sleep this summer. ๐Ÿ’ธ Skip the late-night takeaway and dodge the panic meal deal while still tucking into some seriously delicious sarnies. #LeftoverLineup #WorldCup #lovefoodhatewaste

Top Tip Tuesday โ™ป๏ธ Please do not put compostable packaging into your food waste caddy. ๐Ÿž๐ŸŽ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฆด Devon's food waste is processed through anaerobic digestion, not composting, and compostable packaging does not break down properly. If your compostable packaging has the 'HOME OK Compost' logo, it can go into your compost bin at home. Otherwise, pop it in the general waste bin. โœ… ๐Ÿค” Wondering about your caddy liner? All liners (including compostable ones) are removed before processing, so you can use any bag to line your food waste caddy. Used salad, bread or cereal bags are all great money-saving options! #compostable #foodwaste #recycling #toptiptuesday
