Kitchen Waste

Using a compost caddy is an easy way to recycle some of your kitchen waste and your shredded paper!

The contents of you caddy can then be put into a composter in the garden. Discounted composters and caddies are available via the recyclenow Opens in a new window website. This website also gives information about further composting options using wormeries and food digesters.

Top Tip
Put a little shredded or torn-up paper in the bottom of your caddy, this will soak up the moisture and help to keep your caddy clean. It's also a brilliant way to recycle your confidential documents!
