Do you have to use Paper based Liners in Brustibin or your Food Caddy?

 

Some Waste Service Providers are telling their customers that they can only use paper based liners in Brustinin or their food caddies. One provider states that they ” can only accept paper based bin liners” and then proceeds to tell customers where they can buy these liners! This is simply not the case and the Department of the Environment has confirmed that “the use of compostable bin liners which meet EU standard 13432 is acceptable for use in the brown bin” There is even a promotional video outlining that compostable bags are acceptable! So you do not have to use paper liners that disintegrate, get messy and prevent you from using a vented caddy or Brustibin! Compostable bags, such as Brustibags,  which are stronger, more heat resistant and environmentally friendly can be used with the brown bin and must be accepted by your waste service provider! They also keep you brown bin cleaner.
