Organ meat from cooking, such as liver, heart or kidneys, should be sorted as food waste. Remove trays, bags and absorbent pads first.
If your municipality does not collect this category at your home, you can do this.
Alternative: Residual waste, but only if the municipality explicitly states that no food-waste scheme is available.
