    Hey, really sorry to hear about the race night fiasco. I have a suggestion for your website, now you are doing more kitchen things.

    We've recently started recycling waste food, whereas previously it just went in the main bin or down the waste disposer. Even though we are fairly careful not to waste food, we still end up with loads of banana skins, melon peels, that sort of thing - it's actually quite bulky. I am totally unable to find anything sensible to put this stuff into. We want it to sit on the counter, with a lid to keep flies at bay. One handle to carry it. Must look okay. Has to hold a fair amount, as otherwise we'll end up having to empty it 3 times a day (like we do at present). Preferably not too expensive as, heck, it's only a bin!

    I don't know if that's something you might want to consider? Just a thought, as maybe other people have the same problem and need a solution.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    GDB~Our council supplied us with food caddys just as you describe.
    We have to buy biodegradiable bags to go in them.

  • I have the food caddy but I don't use bags in them - just put stuff in there and when I empty it, give it a good wash and once a week soak it in milton or dettol.
