Food Recycling Tips
Almost everyone in Scotland should have access to a council food waste recycling service and let’s face it everyone has unavoidable food waste. Hopefully our tips can get you using yours.
- Empty your food waste bin regularly and always empty it when it gets ¾ full to stop overflows
- Clean your indoor food waste caddy every few weeks – you can even pop it in the dishwasher and hose your outdoor caddy every so often when you’re cleaning your car!
- Keep your food waste caddy smelling fresh by giving it a wee wipe with kitchen roll and a few drops of scented essential oil. Then pop the kitchen roll at the bottom of the bin to soak up any unwanted spills.
- Make it as easy as possible to always remember to use your food waste collection. Why not keep a small container beside your kettle to gather teabags and then pop in the food waste bin at the end of the day?
