Keeping food waste containers clean

You can keep your food waste containers clean by lining them with old carrier bags, empty bread wrappers, vegetable bags, newspaper or kitchen roll.

You can also purchase compostable liners which are available from major retailers. Look out for the compostable logo on them that confirms they are suitable and can be processed in the food waste composting/recycling process.

Both an indoor caddy and outdoor containers can be washed out using hot soapy water, white vinegar or disinfectant to keep them clean. Alternatively, the smaller caddy can be placed in the dishwasher (max 60 degrees C).
