PREFERRED
The preferred liners are those supplied by Council. They are lime green and have Council's logo on them, so they are easy to spot in the sorting facility as approved liners. Extras are available free of charge (see Where can I get more liners, above).
APPROVED
You can, when necessary, purchase one of the following brands, which have all been tested and approved at the compost facility:
- Cardia
- Compost-a-pak
- Biotuff
- Eco Basics by white magic
When we find other brands that meet the correct standard we will update the list above, but again it's preferred that people use the Council-supplied bags.
NOT APPROVED
The compost facility has also tested the following brands which are not approved for use because they did not adequately break down during the composting process:
- Glad compostable kitchen caddy liners
Any other bags, including plastic, degradable, or biodegradable bags, must not be used as they will contaminate the collection of organic material.
Please note:
- Use the bright green bags by the approved brands so they can be seen easily in the processing line.
- Only use the bags by the approved brands marked 100% compostable.
- Any other bags, including plastic, degradable, or biodegradable bags, must not be used as they will contaminate the collection of organic material.
- When we find other brands that meet the correct standard we will update the list above.
