Compostable caddy liners to help Shropshire recycle more food waste



Shropshire Council is reminding residents in north and south Shropshire that special compostable liners are available to help them recycle their food waste.   
The liners are made from corn starch and are officially tested to be compostable so you can use them to bag up your kitchen waste and then add it to your green garden waste collection bin. The idea is to help residents to recycle more because using kitchen caddies and liners makes it clean and easy to collect up food waste in the kitchen.

All the food waste and garden waste that they collect mixed together in these areas is taken to a specialist composting facility to be made into bags of compost - the type you buy from the garden center.  The liners can be purchased from the following council reception points -
  • Ellesmere Library 
  • Cheshire Street, Market Drayton
  • Edinburgh House, Wem
  • Whitchurch Heritage Centre
  • Corve Street, Ludlow
  • Church Stretton Library
  • Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, Craven Arms
  • Cleobury Country Centre, Cleobury Mortimer
  • Enterprise House, Bishop’s Castle.
Alternatively if you prefer to have them delivered liners can also be purchased over the phone, on 0844 472 1871, or online using the new www.shropshire.caddyliners.com web-based service.
