Compost it in the Compost Pit!
Decomposition of biodegradable “waste” is a crucial part of the natural nutrient cycle and “waste management system”. Organic leftovers are a rich source of nutrients, thus can rather be seen as a resource, than actual “waste”. The nutrients can easily be recovered by a composting process, that besides reduces the amount of waste produced per household.
