fish and shellfish – raw and cooked, including bones and shells
fruit – raw and cooked
salad and vegetables - both raw and cooked, including peelings
dairy products such as yoghurt, cheese, eggs and eggshells

What can’t go in your caddy:

Fats and oils in your food waste caddy
Yes please - but only in certain forms. Liquids like milk, drinks or cooking water cannot go in your caddy. Small amounts of used cooking oil are fine if soaked up by other food, such as bread, and cooled, solid fats from roasting or frying can also go in. Please don’t pour liquids straight into the caddy.
