Household waste contains a fairly large percentage of food in developing countries. This study assesses household food wastage in five selected areas in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CTMM). The main goal of the study was to assess food waste by income level and the reasons for wasting food. Household food wastage was assessed using questionnaires during face-to-face interviews. A total of 210 households participated in the study that used a purposive sampling method. Results showed that high-income households wasted the most food. The main reason why food is wasted, as reported by the respondents, is that they prepare too much porridge and rice.enHousehold food wastagesCity of Tshwane Metropolitan MunicipalityCTMMConference PresentationRamukhwatho, F., Du Plessis, R., & Oelofse, S.
