Can I use newspaper to wrap the food waste into small individual parcels?
Yes this is absolutely ok – some residents prefer to wrap their food waste directly in newspaper to create small packets that can be placed directly into the outside collection bin. This helps keep the bins clean. Both the newspaper and food waste can be composted and newspaper is a natural deodoriser.
