Residents in Brighton and Hove are urged to prevent thousands of meals from going to landfill on Stop Food Waste Day this Friday (April 27).

A huge 19,120 edible meals end up in the bin every day from restaurants all over Brighton and Hove according to findings from the online marketplace for surplus food Too Good To Go.

The company, which advertises cheap surplus food from the city's eateries, said if these meals were saved from landfill it would be the same as taking eight cars off the road every day.

To date, Brighton residents have rescued over 12,000 meals from over 30 food retailers in the city including Moshimo, Real Patisserie, Dum Dum Donuts and Yo! Sushi via the free Too Good To Go app; preventing the same amount of CO2 as growing 622 trees for 10 years.
