Muscat: First and foremost, the municipality advises citizens to shop only as per their needs, avoiding overstocking that can lead to unnecessary waste. They emphasize the importance of consuming food moderately, highlighting that overconsumption leads to health issues and generates more waste.

One of the key recommendations from Muscat Municipality is to donate surplus food to charitable organizations. This not only helps reduce waste but also contributes to supporting those in need during the festive period.

Moreover, the municipality encourages the creative use of surplus food. Simple techniques like toasting leftover bread for salads, incorporating leftover vegetables into soups, and creating juices from surplus fruits can add a delicious twist while reducing food waste.

Proper storage practices are also emphasized, such as avoiding overfilling refrigerators and using glass storage containers for safely reheating food.
