Cheapest compostible food bin liners?

littlesnuggy

We have a weekly food recycling collection in our area but have to buy the special composible liners to use in the caddy.

I've been getting them in Sainsburys but at £2.40 for 12 I'm sure I can get cheaper online.

Quick Google brough up hundreds of suppliers, so has anybody already researched and found the cheapest supplier? I need ones to fit a 5 litre caddy.

Thanks for any pointers

ps - I know I could use newspaper but a) we don't buy newspapers and b) I can envisage having a soggy stinky mess to clean out every week if I did

Try your local council.
The council here is just about to start waste food collection and the new bins came with a leaflet telling us how to use them and advised that they will sell bags at £1.50 for 50.

That's why I compost it at home. I fill up a bowl with everything as I'm cooking and things, then empty in the compost and wash it up at the end of the day. Nothing hangs around making a mess.

home bargains 99p for 12.

Our Council provided 2 rolls and then told us to buy our own.

Didn't realise that our council was unusual. We get free bags and just phone up when we need them.

Carrier bag - dump the contents in the food waste bin and throw the carrier bag into the landfill bin.
