Food waste caddies are for the non compostable stuff....i.e. meaty stuff or cold pasta.

Aha! Am with you - I shall be going down this route soon as we are to move and the freezer must be emptied. I've managed to clear those odd cups right at the back of the fridge that contained (probably) some custard, remains of a tin of tomatoes and that really good beef dripping from the last big Sunday roast - from 6 months ago! Hey ho!

Isn't that the point of food caddy collections by local authorities—to reduce waste by making it into something useful?

Surely, if it's going into the so-called 'waste' food caddy, all of which should be composted, it's not waste.

Hello all, and sending usual good wishes.

Well, there are at least six of them, and I think I will have to tackle them alone.

They have been there for quite a while, and although not posing any threat, I think it is time for them to go.

Yes, I am calling time on Unidentifed Frozen Objects!

In fairness, not all are completely "unidentified" the odd one does appear to be labelled, although I could call into question Mr P's spelling of "coq au vin" confusedblush

We have reached the stage where even the ones that are labelled are not to be trusted! I defrosted a tub labelled "mashed swede & potato", thinking it would be useful to help to top a shepherd's pie, only to find that it contained bami goreng!

We both (me especially) hate wasting food, and I confess to saving quantities of left overs, sometimes just in the fridge, only to throw them away a few days later. Yes, I know I'm only prolonging the inevitable, but somehow it feels slightly better than consigning it to the waste food caddy on the day!

Anyone else guilty, or is it just me?
