Disposing of food waste in London costs a staggering £50m per annum, and 890,000 tonnes of food is thrown away each year in the capital. It’s estimated that 540,000 tonnes of this could be avoided, and a group of volunteers in Brixton, South London, are aiming to bring the level of waste down with their community fridge.
