Organic bin tips

Do not put materials in plastic bags or •

use plastic bin liners.

Only use compostable bin liners. •

No soil, rocks, stones, bricks, plant pots, •

garden tools or other inorganic items.

Remember the rule: ‘If it didn’t grow, it •

doesn’t go in your organics bin.’

If you don’t have grass or garden •

prunings to dispose of with your food scraps, wrap your scraps in newspaper. The paper will absorb moisture and prevent the food from sticking to the bin.
