Kitchen Caddy Liners

Kitchen caddy liners will not be available for collection for the next six weeks while Bass Coast remains under Stage 3 restrictions, to help reduce non-essential travel.

In the meantime, newspaper can be used as an alternative to line kitchen caddies. There is no requirement for food waste to be wrapped: it can be put straight into the green-lidded Organics Bin, or a bowl, tub or bucket can be used and tipped directly into the Organics bin.

If you feel that your need for green caddy liners is urgent, please contact Wonthaggi Recyclers on 5672 1933 and they will arrange to get some delivered.
