How to use your food caddy

Line your small kitchen caddy with a bag. You can use compostable liners or clean plastic bags like bread bags.
Put all your food waste in the caddy. No packaging, please!
When it’s full, tie the bag and put it in your big food bin outside.
Put your outside food bin by the kerb on your collection day. It gets emptied every week.
If you need more liners, tie one to your outside bin on collection day. If the crew has some, they’ll leave you a new roll.
