Get to know your Caddy

A kitchen caddy can be a useful tool to help you sort food scraps from your other waste inside your home.

Details About Our Caddies

Your caddy can take up to seven litres and can be lined with one of the Council supplied caddy liners, or you can supply your own as long as it is AS4736 certified compostable.

The caddies have been made in Braeside, Victoria from up to 100 per cent recycled materials. The colours chosen also have a purpose — to allow the maximum amount of material to be reused.

Features:

• A sturdy handle that doubles as a locking mechanism to avoid spills and reduce odours.
• A lid that flips back to create a full opening for plate scraping.
• A rear mounting tab so the unit can be attached to a wall or under-sink door.
• Smooth inner walls for easy cleaning.
• A handy label to tell you what can go in your caddy.

Caddy Liners are being provided by Council (created by BioBag) and are compliant with the Australian Standard 4736. AS4736 means that the material will break down under exposure to heat and moisture within a few months.

If you decide to use your own liners, you must only use AS4736 certified compostable liners to ensure our FOGO material isn't contaminated.

A handy tip: don't tie knots in your liners once they're full. A knot can affect the composting process as it will take longer to break down.

We encourage you to only keep enough liners for your immediate needs and keep them in a cool, dark and dry place to avoid them degrading.
