About The Good Sort

Our bags are designed to fit a 7L council food organics caddie, ensuring convenience and sufficient capacity for food waste. Customised sizing available upon request. 

1. Open up the bag and place it into a caddy or on a surface.
2. Put your food scraps in the paper bag. Keep it in a well-ventilated space.
3. Do not fill the bag all the way—leave some space at the top so you can fold or roll it securely.
4. Once the bag is 3/4 full, roll or fold the top to close it.
5. Take the entire caddy with the bag and transfer it into your council-provided food organics bin or home-compost.
6. Rinse your kitchen caddy if needed, dry it, and put a new TGS bag in it.

 Compostable bioplastic liners can cause contamination in food and garden organics streams, reducing compost quality. They can also pose challenges for processing at specific composting sites. Paper bin liners, newspaper sheets, and paper towels are being encouraged as alternatives to help improve compost quality and reduce waste. 

 Yes. Paper is a great addition to your home composting and worms, as it adds carbon and absorbs moisture. 

 Please review your council’s guidelines to ensure you’re adding only accepted food organics into your green bin. Typical items include fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, meats and bones, and small amounts of paper towel. Always avoid adding items like plastic, glass, or non-compostable materials. 

• Use layers of dry material between wet food waste as a moisture buffer.
• Though not required, some users prefer to line their bag with a few sheets of newspaper or paper towel, as this can help absorb moisture and keep the bag fresh, reducing the risk of leaks and odours.
• Place your full compostable paper bag on top of other green waste in your bin to create a natural buffer, reducing the chance of leaks and helping to prevent odours in your mobile garbage bin.
