USING KITCHEN CADDIES & LINERS FOR FOOD SCRAPS

Did you know that about 23% of what goes in our landfill bins in urban and village areas is organic material, mostly food?

We want that material in your organics bin so it can be recycled into compost! The best way to get these food scraps from your home to your wheelie bin is by using a kitchen caddy.

While you can buy a purpose-made kitchen caddy, you can also reuse or recycle an existing container like a:

• Glass coffee jar

• Ice cream, yoghurt or feta container

• Old Tupperware container

• Stainless steel cooking pot

Labels on liners can be confusing!

If using a liner, please only use ones that are labelled as compostable under the Australian Standard AS 4736 with this seedling logo. Manufacturers often use the terms ‘degradable’ or ‘biodegradable’, but the fact is these are NOT compostable and CANNOT be placed in your green organics bin.

You can purchase kitchen caddies for $8 and a roll of Compost-a-Pak bin liners for $6.50 (both at cost price) from our Corporate Centre in Goonellabah or the Revolve Shop at Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre.
