kitchen scraps

Peelings and trimmings

Kitchen scraps are food waste and trimmings from meal preparation—vegetable peelings, eggshells, coffee grounds, meat bones, stale bread.

The term implies potential usefulness rather than pure garbage: kitchen scraps go to compost piles, chicken coops, or stockpots.

Save the kitchen scraps for the compost bin.
