Thanks to the efforts of the Waste to Harvest organization and hundreds of volunteers, fifteen community gardens have already been able to save more than 25,000 kilos of fruit and vegetable waste from the garbage bin this year. This result will be celebrated on September 28 during the Waste to Harvest Festival. Eleven new collection points will also open where Amsterdam residents can register to hand in their organic waste.

Waste to Harvest

Waste to Harvest makes it possible for Amsterdam residents to hand in their peels and cores to 22 community gardens and city farms. The organization guides volunteers in making high-quality compost, which they then use to feed the gardens. During the Waste to Harvest Festival, visitors to these community gardens can receive information about composting and register as a fruit and vegetable waste donor.

Program

You can also discover what else you can do with kitchen waste. For example, participate in a workshop making paint with vegetable peels. Or delve into the wonderful world of the soil. In Amsterdam-West you can participate in a special Waste to Harvest cycling route! More information about the program and the participating locations can be found on the Waste to Harvest website or social media . Registration is not necessary.
