Using your brown bin…….
Using your brown bin is easy – it’s definitely not rocket science! Waste such as plate scrapings, vegetable peelings, egg shells, spoiled meat can be placed in the brown bin. Garden waste such as grass, cuttings and dead flowers can also be placed in the brown bin. Be sure to double check with your waste operator about the organic materials they take as some of them differ slightly.
