HOW TO ACCESS A FOOD CADDY AT HOME

It can be extremely confusing to know what bin systems are available for you, especially as each council in SA has some differences.

The good news is there are consistencies between councils and it can be really easy to get your bin system working properly.

So what can go in a kitchen caddy? Items suitable include:

• Fruit and vegetable scraps

• Dairy products (e.g. cheese, no plastic bags)

• Bread

• Egg shells, oyster shells

• Seafood

• Meat and bones (raw or cooked)

• Tea bags and coffee

• Tissues and paper towels
