00:03Amidst the chaos at Flemington...
00:04Come and get royal jujubes today, half price on the jujubes, royal jujubes, half price.
00:10...bargains are to be found.
00:12Get $2 tomorrow now, $2 here we go.
00:14But despite the best and loudest of sales pitches...
00:18We've got the best Queensland strawberries here, $4 for $10 today.
00:21...not everything gets sold.
00:23You can't hang on to the food for too long, right?
00:26Unfortunately, it's part of nature and you can't help that thing.
00:30And, you know, it's a part of the moon and the horizon of the sun.
00:36The charity's second bite picks up the leftover produce,
00:40which is then distributed to the poor.
00:42They've got choosing between rent, petrol and food,
00:45and usually food's the one that misses out.
00:48The state government has given it some cash to collect even more would-be waste.
00:52This will result in more than 5,000 kilograms every week.
00:56But it's not just about feeding the hungry.
00:59Sydney's running out of space to bury its waste.
01:01By 2030, we will not be able to put more rubbish into the landfills that we have.
01:08They're full.
01:08As well as a carrot, the government is using a stick.
01:11From the 1st of July, new laws will force some institutions
01:14and businesses across the state to recycle food waste.
01:17By 2030, it'll be compulsory for all councils to provide so-called FOGO collection.
01:23That is, bins for food organics and garden organics,
01:27so it can be turned into compost.
01:29About a third of what we all put in our fridges ends up being thrown out.
01:33And when you tally up the cost of that, it's over $2,000 per household per year.
01:382,000 good reasons to put more in your stomach.
