Ours is in paper so it can be composted. Which it all is and then sold.
In fact the council gives us an even smaller grey bin for indoor
collection of food waste, but we don't see the point of that - just take
it straight out to the proper bin after wrapping it in paper.

New rules coming in soon for us:

"Due to government guidance we are no longer able to accept food waste
wrapped in newspaper, paper bags or kitchen roll. Please either use the
compostable caddy liners or tip the food in loose."

(And any bags must have the right symbol on them.)

Garden waste will no longer allow any food/kitchen waste.

I do wonder whether a windfall apple is food waste or garden waste?
(Whether it fell in the tree owner's garden or over the fence for those
who read u.l.m.)

Black (actually grey) wheelie - general.
Green wheelie - garden stuff.
Blue wheelie - mixed plastics, tins, glass and cartons.
Green box paper.
Red bag - textiles.
Clear bag - batteries
(PLace full bags on top of blue wheelie.)
Grey (they call it grey) caddy - kitchen waste in kitchen.
Brown bin - kitchen waste outside.
