Automatic bag deliveries
Sign up for automatic deliveries of food waste liners and we'll deliver to your door up to 4 times a year.
Caddy liners should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place to prevent them from beginning to break down prematurely.
Try to remove any excess moisture from your food waste before putting it into the bag, as liquids will speed up the composting process and mean that your bags need to be changed more regularly.
