Food Scraps
To Helpful Hacks
Sustainability starts at home and the choices we make every day can add up to a huge difference for our planet.
Here are some simple, creative ways to repurpose your food scraps at home so they stay out of the bin and are put to better use.
Banana peels to supercharged fertilizer.
Chop and bury them in your plants or blend with water. Your garden is going to have a spa day with the ‘aunaturel’ nutrients.
Leftover Orange Peels?
These are not just scraps, once dried and powdered, they are your new all-natural dyes for painting, fabric or even adding a colourful twist to your food.
Don’t toss those watermelon rinds just yet.
Chop them up, mix with water and voilà! A nutrient-packed juice is ready to give your garden soil a tasty boost.
Morning Brew Fun Fact
Did you know that one cup of coffee creates about 0.45 kg of CO₂?
Close to the footprint you’d leave if you were driving your car for 2kms. Sipping from a carton cup? That carbon adds up even more.
Easy swaps can help shrink your footprint:
Bring your own reusable cup
Choose organic or local beans
Ditch single-use sugar packets and creamers
Swap plastic stirrers for wooden or metal spoons
HANDPICKED FOR YOU
HOME & HEART
One of the joys of community living is discovering friendships right outside your doorstep.
This feature celebrates heartwarming stories where neighbours become companions, cheerleaders & even sometimes, extended family that make our communities truly feel like home.
This month, we share the story where a thoughtful welcome transformed moving day into the beginning of a lifelong friendship.
When I first moved into JBR, I thought the sea breeze would be the best part of my new home. I was wrong, it was my neighbour, Kanika.
On moving day, she welcomed me with a plate of dates and a warm smile, making me feel instantly at home. What began with small chats in the lift grew into evening walks along The Walk, grocery runs together and countless cups of coffee on our balconies.
In this bustling community, Kanika became my anchor. She isn’t just a neighbour, she’s family. JBR gave me more than a home; it gave me a lifelong friend next door.
In the words of Deepthi Arora, JBR

With the weather getting better, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a BBQ with family and friends.
Ensure everyone has a safe and pleasant experience and keep these guidelines in mind.
LOCATION
Use designated community barbecue areas and grills only. Avoid grilling too close to buildings, trees or dry grass to prevent fire hazards.
SUPERVISION
Never leave the grill unattended. Always have someone responsible nearby while the barbecue is in use.
FIRE SAFETY
Keep a fire extinguisher, bucket of water or sand close by in case of emergencies. Make sure the grill is completely cooled down before leaving.
CLEANLINESS
Dispose of charcoal, ashes and trash in proper containers. Clean up promptly after your grill to maintain a pleasant environment for all.
Empty standing water from pots and trays regularly.
Keep drains and gutters clean and covered.
Use mosquito nets, screens or UV insect traps in the rooms. Don’t leave open containers of water or stagnant water in bird baths.
Trim overgrown plants and gardens to reduce hiding places.
As the weather cools off, the mosquitoes RSVP themselves to your home like uninvited party crashers. The good news?
Here are some effective ways to keep them far away from your space.
Report heavy mosquito infestations to the community management team immediately.

Property Damages From External Factors, What You Need To Know
Spot a leak/damage inside your home and aren’t sure where it’s coming from?
Here’s how you can get this addressed with the help of Dubai Holding Community Management’s intervention.
As per RERA’s Circular 12 of 2023
THE FIRST STEP
Homeowners can submit their request via the Mollak Services Gateway to initiate the process.
HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
Upon notifying DHCM, a neutral RERAapproved inspection company will assess the damage. An inspection report will identify the cause, responsible party, suggested solutions and estimated repair costs.
THE ROOT LIES AT HOME
Upon inspection, if the homeowner is responsible for repairs, costs must be borne by the owner and DHCM may be authorised to carry out repairs.
WHO’S TO BLAME?
Homeowner will be notified about access for inspection. If denied, RERA may issue a warning and further escalate to the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre. In this case, the homeowner must cover all repair costs.
