Avoid overstocking and ensure proper storage to minimize waste. Check your fridge and pantry often to keep track of what you have and what needs to be used. Eat or freeze items before you need to throw them away. If you have more food on hand than you can use or you need, consider donating your extra supply of packaged foods to a local food bank. Use bins for organic waste disposal. Reducing food waste conserves resources like water, land, and energy.
