However, it may be possible for you to reduce your food waste which could also save you up to £50 a week on the food bill. For more information see Love Food Hate Waste.
It is advisable to keep the caddy in a shady spot if possible to prevent it getting too hot. The locking lid on the external food caddy means that if left outside even in warm weather the smell will be kept minimal. Weekly collections also help reduce the time caddies are left out in warm weather.
