How to Choose the Right Food Waste Caddy
Think about where you’ll keep the caddy (benchtop, under-sink or in a drawer), how often you cook, and whether you want extra features like carbon filters or removable inner buckets. For small households a compact 1–2 litre caddy is often enough; families or avid cooks may prefer larger or double-layer models that reduce trips to the outdoor bin.
Check product dimensions and the cleaning instructions — many models use replaceable liners or washable inner buckets to make maintenance easier.
Joseph Joseph Food Waste Caddy — Customer FAQ (New Zealand)
What types of food waste can I put in the caddy?
The caddy is suitable for typical kitchen scraps like fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, eggshells and small food leftovers. Avoid pouring liquids or grease directly into the caddy; drain excess liquid into the sink first.
Do these caddies reduce bad smells?
Yes — many models include tight lids and optional carbon filters that trap odours. Regular emptying and rinsing further reduces smells and keeps the caddy fresh.
How often should I empty the caddy?
Frequency depends on the amount of food waste you produce and your tolerance for smells. For small households, emptying every 2–3 days is common; for larger families, daily emptying works best.
Can I use compostable liners with these caddies?
Yes — many customers prefer compostable liners for easy disposal. Check the product description to see liner compatibility and recommended sizes.
How do I clean the food waste caddy?
Remove any liner or inner bucket, rinse with warm soapy water, dry thoroughly and reassemble. For stubborn residues, soak briefly and use a soft brush. Regular cleaning prevents build-up and odours.
Are these caddies suitable for benchtop use?
Absolutely — compact, attractive designs are made to sit on the benchtop for convenience while preparing food. Choose a size that matches your available space.
Can I leave the caddy in a cupboard or under the sink?
Yes — storing the caddy under sink or in a cupboard keeps it out of sight. Be mindful to empty and clean regularly, and avoid placing it next to cleaning chemicals that could taint food waste or liners.
Do the caddies come with filters or liners included?
Some models include a carbon filter or starter liners, while others sell these accessories separately. Check the product listing to see what’s included.
Are the caddies easy to empty into compost bins?
Yes — designs with lightweight inner buckets or wide openings make it simple to tip scraps into outdoor compost bins or council green-waste containers without spills.
Will the caddy rust or stain over time?
Caddies made from plastics or coated metals resist staining and corrosion. Rinse and dry the unit regularly to keep it looking new; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage finishes.
Do Joseph Joseph food waste caddies have a warranty?
Warranty terms vary by model and retailer. Refer to the product page for specific warranty details and contact our customer support for assistance with returns or replacements.
