Do Not Throw Away Bread

Hello and blessings! We are a young couple with two children, and we often have leftover bread, challah, and the children bring back cookies and bagels from kindergarten - and we don't know what to do with it. Are we allowed to throw it in the trash, or do we have to wait until it gets moldy and only then throw it away? Thank you in advance.

Hello and blessings 

If it is clear that the bread will not be eaten, there is no need to wait for it to become moldy; you can wrap it and throw it away.
