How should I present my food waste?

Your food waste will be collected weekly on the same day your refuse or recycling is collected. Just put it out at the same time and it will be emptied.

Lining the food caddy

Lining your food caddy is optional. Lining the caddy may help to keep it cleaner. You can also rinse it with warm, soapy water, or wash it in a dishwasher up to 60°C.

You can line your caddy with any of the following:

• Plastic carrier bags
• Compostable bags
• Supermarket carrier bags (including bags for life)
• Pedal bin liners (not black bags)
• Other plastic bags (e.g. bread bags and salad bags)
• Newspaper
