Do not put compost in your yellow recycling bin

The best way to dispose of food waste is to place it in a compost bin or worm farm. If you don't have a compost bin, food scraps can go in your red general waste bin. 

Domestic garden waste should be dropped off at Shoal Bay Mulch, and not placed in your red bin.
