Food waste bags for recycling

Food waste compostable bag

If you have a food waste bin, these compostable recycling bags are excellent because you can put all your kitchen food waste inside and then dump these into your food waste bin outside. It has the added convenience of preventing bad odours of decomposing food.

Illustrated on the outside of the bag are a number of suggestions on things that you can place in the bag. 

Some people may already be familiar with these bags. Some boroughs provide them for food waste recycling or you may have to buy some.

Generally, food that would go in these are food scraps or food that can no longer be eaten which has gone stale. Personally, I don't like to waste good food.

The following is a list of the items that you can place into the bags for recycling:

Bread and pastries
Dairy
Fish
Fruit and vegetables
Meat and bones
Tea and coffee grounds
Other food waste
