In Guildford, there are specific guidelines for separating food waste to ensure effective recycling. You can dispose of various food items in your silver food caddy, but not all items are accepted.
Here’s a quick overview of what you can put in your food waste bin:
| Can Include | Cannot Include |
|---|---|
| Meat and fish (including bones) | Packaging that can be recycled |
| Fish, nut, and egg shells | Black bin liners |
| Dairy food | Liquids |
| Fruit and vegetables | Oil or liquid fat |
| Bread, cakes, and pastries | |
| Rice, pasta, and beans | |
| Leftover, mouldy, or expired food | |
| Tea bags and coffee grounds |
It's important not to line your silver food bin with black bin liners. Instead, you may use plastic liners, newspaper, or old carrier bags. If you're unsure about other types of waste disposal, Guildford has resources available for further guidance. For more information on food waste recycling, check out the recycling guidelines.
