Why
- Mouldy bread is organic waste and belongs in the Biotonne (organic waste bin).
- The Biotonne is intended for food waste and other organic materials.
- Organic waste is composted there and reduces the amount of residual waste.
In some municipalities, there is no Biotonne, in which case the bread must be taken to the local composting facility.
