Food caddy deliveries 

We are continuing to deliver food caddies and recycling bins to all eligible properties in the district. You can check to see if your street has been delivered, and report if you have not received your new bins, at the 123+ bin deliveries page.

Food waste

Food waste can be contained in a compostable caddy liner or wrapped in newspaper before placing in your 23 litre food waste bin. Compostable caddy liners are made from corn starch and should display the compostable logo.

You can also use your own indoor container — do whatever works for you.

Cut-price compostable caddy liners

Residents of Warwickshire can benefit from cut-price caddy liners when purchasing online from The Compost Bag Company. 

Using a caddy

1. Place a compostable caddy liner in the food waste caddy, or line with newspaper.

2. Place all your food waste into the kitchen caddy.

3. When you are ready to empty the caddy, tie the top of the bag.

4. Place in the 23-litre food waste bin, making sure to lock the lid to prevent spillages or animals gaining access to the contents

All homes in Warwick district with a green garden and food waste collection can recycle all food waste using the green wheeled bin.

What food can I recycle?

You can recycle your mouldy and out of date food, including ready meals removed from their packaging.

Please remember – if you already compost at home, please keep composting your uncooked vegetable and fruit peelings in your compost bin or heap.
