It is a kitchen caddy supplied by the council we had a spare one so thought of usig that, maybe need to store outside and put stuff in that wen inside one is full and then take big one to allotment
Medavidcook, I use a one litre enamel pot with lid as a compost caddy in the kitchen; it gets emptied at least once a day into the compost bin. Had you considered having a compost bin at home, if that is possible for you? When the compost has been made you could empty it into sacks/buckets and take it to your allotment.
dint really have the room for one at home. I try to get to the allotment 2-3 times a week but just don't have a bin full in time, might have to take smaller loads across.
Here in Norfolk they take away kitchen waste in little bio-degradable bags, which we buy from the council. I saw in a shop today something similar which will rot down in 180 days, could this help?

It will indeed go mouldy, unless your heap is hot enough to kill those as well.
I think a little one inside and a bigger one outside is the way to go. You don't want all your waste food hanging around the kitchen for days!
yeh so will get a little container for the kitchen and then the kitchen caddy outside and use that to take to the allotment. thanks

...or just wrap the stuff in newspaper and put the whole package on the compost
I use an old sweetie bucket kept under the sink. Mind you it fills up very quickly and keeps the smell in.
