The food waste caddy
The food waste caddy
The food caddy is a small silver indoor food waste bin. These are usually kept in the kitchen and filled up with your food waste.
You can line your caddy using items such as:
- Plastic bags like bread or carrier bags
- Newspaper or paper bags
Lining your caddy is optional but can help keep it clean.
Collect food waste in your caddy
You should collect only food waste in your caddy.
| Yes please | No, thank you |
|---|---|
| Dairy products and eggshells | Food packaging |
| Bread, cakes, pasta, and rice | Large amounts of liquids such as milk |
| Raw and cooked meat, fish, and bones | Pet waste, litter, or bedding |
| Uneaten food, and out of date foods | Any material that is not food |
| Raw and cooked fruit and vegetables and peelings | Garden waste |
| Pet foods | |
| Tea and coffee bags and grounds | |
| Cooking oil sealed in a plastic bottle |
Transfer food waste to your outdoor food waste bin
When your caddy is full, put only the food waste into the larger outdoor food waste bin. If you have lined your food waste caddy with a plastic bag or newspaper these can be tipped into the food waste bin. These are then removed prior to the food waste being processed.
