Where can I buy compostable bin liners?
Compostable bin liners make recycling food a piece of cake!
Using a compostable bin liner in your kitchen caddy may be the solution to preventing unwanted odours and flies, particularly in the warmer months or at times when you have little other green waste to blend.
Council approved compostable bin liners are available for purchase from :
- Ecovend vending machines in Yamba Shopping Fair, at the bottom of the escalator in Grafton Shoppingworld and at the Queen Street entrance to Coles Mall in Grafton;
- Hardware outlets throughout the Clarence Valley;
- Online from ecovend http://ecovend.com.au/
Please note compostable bin liners must meet the Australian Standard AS 4736 and be labelled compostable. Keep up to date with other organic news by visiting our website www.clarence.nsw.gov.au or phone our Waste Hotline 1800 335 599.
Liners are not sold from Council offices
Do the bin liners have an expiry date?
These bin liners have a shelf life of 12 months if stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If not stored correctly the bags may deteriorate.
Do I have to use the bin liners?
Not at all! If ‘nude’ or newspaper is working for you, continue to use that.
