What do you use to collect the rubbish from the kitchen...

Apparently the pound shop does the caddies. I think they cost £1.00

That made me laugh. Everything is £1 in the pound shop isn't it ?  

i wouldnt put anything like that in mine as dont want mice or anything but i have a freind who puts just about everything food waste wise in his apart from bones

have just noticed you are just down the road from me!!

Jenny, where do you live ?  

Our system is a bit complicated.

Kitchen:

1 small bin for landfill

1 larger dual compartment bin for compostable waste or bits of card, paper envelopes (preferably after re-using as shopping lists), etc.

'Tupperware' box in the fridge full of any scraps the hens will eat.

Understair cupboard:

Box of papers, magazines & junk mail etc. for shredding as pet bedding (then composting)

Garden:

Several large plastic bottles for transporting homebrew sludge and used cooking oil to the plot.

2 large plastic vegetable crates for larger bits of card and soiled/wet newpapers/magazines that will be laid down under grass clippings or stable straw as mulch.

2 small dustbins for collecting waste bags from the kitchen until taken to plot.

I tend to pour runny stuff like used cooking oil and homebrew sludge onto either the straw from the hen house/run or stable straw (collected from where my daughter rides) as it soaks it up and doesn't stiffle the contents of a plastic composter.

I like to think pouring it on both piles (kept seperate as chicken poo is great for giant vegetables) will help make the straw really uncomfortable for vermin.

I use a good size flip-top plastic bin for all my kitchen compost waste - addis or curver make.

Thanks everyone, it is nice to know what everybody uses.

After buying a small plastic box with lid from wilko, which was full in no time lol, I finally decided to order this one (thanks for the link new_2_veg !) :



I can't wait to receive it, especially as I've just received my new composter for the allotment, yes !
