The Kitchen Organics Bin

Your 12-litre green kitchen organics bin provides an hygienic way to collect compostable food scraps and other kitchen organic wastes before tipping them into the 240-litre green bin.

Coffs Coast Waste Services has delivered the kitchen organics bins to all households on the Coffs Coast throughout February and early March 2007.

If you have not received your kitchen organics bin, please contact the Hotline on 1800 265 495.

In response to customer queries, we remind people of the following:

Keep the small bin at hand in the kitchen for easy disposal of food scraps. Empty regularly in the green bin (green bins are now collected weekly).
Place only the contents and not the whole new kitchen organics bin in the green bin.
Do NOT place the small kitchen organics bin out on the kerbside - they will not be emptied by the CCWS truck. Only the large bin will be collected.

THESE ITEMS GO INTO YOUR KITCHEN ORGANICS BIN:

All food and food scraps,
including meat, bones, prawn shells;
Soiled paper or newspaper,
Soiled tissues and kitchen paper towel;
Flowers and weeds;

RED: What goes into the red bin?

YELLOW: What goes into the yellow bin?

Put the right thing in the right bin!

This goes into your kitchen organics bin

ORGANICS KITCHEN BIN TIPS:

Line your kitchen bin with newspaper to keep it clean and reduce odour.

Wrap food scraps in newspaper to reduce odour and spillage.

Wrap prawn shells and heads, fish bones and other putrescibles in newspaper and place in your freezer, then transfer to your green bin on the night prior to collection.
