What can I do to reduce the amount of fruit flies in my kitchen catcher? Freeze leftover meat waste and other higher odor compostable materials in large ziplock bags or ice cream tubs and them empty them into your green bin just before collection day.
It is more effective to sprinkle it in layers as you add your kitchen scraps to the green bin. Please don't put large amounts at the bottom of your bin.
Sprinkling baking soda in layers throughout your green bin will also help reduce odours. The day before your pick up, empty these bags into your green bin. During the summer months it is a good idea to freeze your waste meat products, in a large freezer bag or container. Rinse your bins after every collection day with water and vinegar. Extra crumpled up newspaper at the bottom of your bin will also help to keep your bin clean. Rinsing your bins and using the approved bags for your kitchen scraps will help to prevent items from sticking to the bottom of your bin when they are dumped. Rinse out your kitchen catcher, green bin and grey bin on a regular basis. Adding extra crumpled newspaper to the bottom of your bin will also absorb moisture and ensure your bin empties fully on collection day. It will also help reduce moisture and odour and will help to keep your large green bin clean.
This will help contain your kitchen scraps when you transfer them to the larger green bin.
Always use compostable bags, paper bags or newspaper to line your kitchen catcher. During the summer you might want to store them in your garage, if that is an option. If possible, find a place to store your green and grey bins that is out of the sun.
