Did you know...

You can easily reduce waste in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters by 38% by using a kitchen caddy system to collect food scraps and other compostable material?

Collect all your food scraps, uneaten food and other compostable items such as coffee grounds, tea bags, tissues, paper towel, and even hair in the kitchen caddy. Materials should then be placed into your green lidded organics bin for composting.

Why it's important to place food and other compostable materials in the green bin

  • sending waste to landfill costs 85% more than composting food through the green bin
  • the Council could save $395,000 per year if all food and compostable materials were placed in the green bin rather than the red landfill bin
  • when food waste is sent to landfill it rots and releases methane—a harmful greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.

How to use a kitchen caddy

  1. line the basket with one of the Council provided compostable corn-starch bags or newspaper
  2. place all your food scraps and other compostable items in the basket
  3. after two to three days, or once full, tie the bag and place it into your green lidded organics bin.

Tips for using your kitchen caddy and green bin

  • keep your kitchen caddy in a handy spot such as on the bench top or under the kitchen sink
  • store seafood, meat scraps and dairy in the freezer until the night before your collection to avoid unpleasant smells
  • all food scraps can be placed loose, directly into your green lidded food and garden organics bin
  • layer food scraps with dry leaves or shredded newspaper to absorb moisture and smells.

Where to get a kitchen caddy system

Kitchen Caddies and compostable bags are available at Norwood Town Hall, 175 The Parade, Norwood and Norwood Library, 110 The Parade, Norwood.

What if I have my own compost bin or worm farm

Alternatively, you can compost fruit and vegetable scraps, paper towel, tissues, shredded paper as well as garden materials through your own home composting system.

Why waste it? Let's sort it.

Compost your food scraps and other organic materials, whichever way you choose!

Keeping food and compostable items out of landfill bins is the single easiest and most effective way we can reduce our waste significantly.
