How we collect your food waste
You will be supplied with a small kitchen caddy to store food waste in your kitchen and a larger lockable food container for outside.
What to do with your food waste
- Line your small kitchen food waste caddy with a compostable liner, old newspaper or kitchen roll.
- Put in any food waste that you don't compost at home, such as meat, bones, fish and cooked food.
- Regularly empty the kitchen container into the larger container outside.
- Lock the lid of the outside container so the food is protected from animals.
- Put the outside container out for collection every week with your recycling before 6am.
