It's not waste, it's compost.
Any leftover food stuff can be turned into useful fertilizer. Check you local community to find people who collect it.
Separate your trash and store it in an airtight container.
There is still waste involved into putting edible food in the compost. Growing, packaging, and transporting food all consume resources that go to waste if the food is not eaten.
Are unpopped popcorn kernels a significant source of uneaten food? Debatable.
Here's a trick I like.
Get a liter sized container. Any time you chop veggies put the unused bits in the container and freeze it. When it's full use that to make soup stock.
Yep, then the solids get strained out and composted, or if you have chickens they love it.
