Exciting News!

Moffat CAN has been awarded 'Environment Champion of the Year' by D&G Life Magazine in their annual People of the Year Awards!  We're absolutely thrilled to have won - thank you so much to all those who nominated us and to all our supporters.  What a wonderful end to an wonderfully exciting year!

New Project - Food Waste Collections

The average Scottish home wastes £430 of food every year!

 

Moffat CAN has just started a food waste collection service in Moffat.  Food Waste forms a large part of the rubbish we throw away.  Here at Moffat CAN we put it to good use.  We have a 'Rocket In-Vessel Composter' which takes all the food and helps us make it into beautiful rich compost in just a few weeks.  The composter can even take cooked food, meat and small bones.

We supply you with a kitchen caddy and your first supply of corn starch liners.  You can then put your caddy out twice a week and will take the food waste away and recycle it for you.  By doing twice weekly collection your food waste is not sitting around for too long.  Collections are carried out by our newest employee Malcolm, on his customised trike.

You can also sign up to be part of the Tasty Waste Programme - which helps you to reduce the amount of food you throw away, saving carbon and money.  Along with your pack you will receive some free gifts to help reduce your food waste and there are prizes to be won - the home with the best reduction in food waste will win £50 of vouchers and 5 others will win an OWL energy monitor worth £35.

If you are interested in taking part then please get in touch by calling the office on 01683 221847 or emailing us at info@moffatcan.org
