The aim of the Community Fridge is to tackle food waste by offering food that is nearing its sell-by date to others in the community.
The fridge is at West Costessey Hall and is supported by Costessey Town Council, South Norfolk Council, Recycle for Norfolk, the environmental charity Hubbub UK and Sainsbury’s Waste Less Save More.
South Norfolk’s cabinet member for the environment and recycling, Kay Mason-Billig said: ‘No one likes to see edible food go to waste and this is such a simple idea to prevent it.’
It is not only open to members of the community as businesses are able to donate food.
