Y WASTE COST: FREE OS: IOS, ANDROID

It’s a shame for good food to go to waste. Ian Price, CEO of Y Waste, has been quoted as saying that in Australia retailers throw away over 3 million tonnes of processed/edible food every year, 80% of which is thrown out because it’s simply not sold.

This relatively new app is a win-win for restaurant and cafe owners as well as consumers because it allows consumers to buy food that would otherwise go to waste for a discounted price.

You can search for food that is available near you and it could be a good way to pick up a cheap dinner after work.

Obviously, as it is “surplus” food, you can’t pick from the menu and you’ll have to settle for what is available at the time.

Food is paid for via the app and you are given a specified pick-up time.
