How to use your caddies

Once you receive your caddy pack, please line your small kitchen caddy with a liner and start filling it up with your food waste from the date given to you by your local council.

Then put your filled outdoor caddy out on your normal weekly collection day and make it sure it’s visible in front of your bins and bags, and your local crew will empty it, every week. 

Step 1 – Fill it up 

Line your small kitchen caddy and fill it up during the week with your food waste - find out what can and can't go in your caddy.

Step 2 – Tie it up 

When your kitchen caddy liner is full, just tie it at the top and pop it in your large outdoor caddy, ensuring the lid is locked and secure – the liner will be removed before the food waste is processed.

Reline your caddy and start filling it up again.  

Step 3 – Put it out 

Please put your outdoor caddy out every week with your other bins and bags: 

• At the kerbside in front of your other bins, so crews can see it
• By 6am on your normal collection day

Remember: The crew will empty your outdoor food caddy every week when you put it out with your other bins and bags on your usual collection day. 

Top tip: Why not number or mark your outdoor caddy so you know it’s yours and it doesn’t get mixed up or lost?
