Food waste caddies

Chompy food waste truck

We provide every household with a food waste caddy pack, including a kitchen caddy, an outdoor caddy and a supply of caddy liners, to help residents recycle their food waste. Food waste is collected every week from the outdoor caddy.

What can go in your food waste caddy?

Please use your food waste caddies to recycle:

  • Fruit and vegetable peelings
  • Tea bags and coffee grounds
  • Leftovers and out-of-date food
  • Bread, cakes and biscuits
  • Eggs and dairy produce
  • Meat and bones
  • Rice, pasta and beans

Weekly food waste collections

Your food waste caddy is collected every week, making it the best place for your food waste rather than leaving it in your black bin for up to two weeks.

Benefits of using your food waste caddy

Using your food waste caddy helps to:

  • Reduce smells in your black bin
  • Keep your bin cleaner
  • Reduce mess
  • Lower the chance of attracting flies
