We have 2 food waste bins. One is classed as a small caddy and it is lined with compostable bags. This is used on a daily basis and when full, bag removed and tied up and then goes into a larger caddy which is kept by the kitchen door. Each Tuesday we put out larger caddy for collection. Recycling is blue bin - any small left over waste can be put into black bag and placed in green bin. Or you can pick up recycling waste and pit in blue bin for next collection. -
We probably all got one of these guides, or soon will do. I'm confused about two things. First, food waste. It seems you are supposed just to empty food waste into the outside food waste bin without any containing (compostable) bag. Is that right? Aren't you then going to be constantly washing the outside bin? Not that it matters much to me at the moment, as my outside food bin was just thrown over the garden wall after emptying and the lid broken off (which then blew away). Second, rubbish. The guide says "the small amount of waste left after recycling should (sic) be placed in a black bag." But it has a picture of both a black bag and a green bin. Surely you aren't supposed to put your non recyclable rubbish into a black bag and then into the green bin? And if not, why does it not mention the bin, when the recycling section clearly says bin OR bag? Does nobody read this stuff through before it goes to print? Or is it just obvious to everybody apart from me?! I've just seen in last year's guide that they gave away a one off free roll of compostable liners with it. And also, that they said " You can also use newspaper to line your caddy." When I did that, the bin men just threw the newspaper on the pavement and left it there 😭
