| If you really don't have room - why not share a food waste bin with a neighbour? They are best kept out of direct sunlight in this hot weather - something that is far easier to do with a small food waste bin than with a wheelie bin! They are also far easier to wash out. When there is no food waste in the wheelie it doesn't get so smelly and if you use the food waste caddy (the smaller one) you will learn what you waste so will be able to save money by buying less of that item/cooking slightly differently/managing the menu slightly differently/learning how to refrigerate, freeze and extend the life of particular foods. Rats are likely to be looking for water as many sources will have dried up and changed during this hot weather. Try and make sure that you don't invite them into your home by having leaking pipes/open drains near open doors. It is the foxes that manage to open food waste boxes if you leave them where they can be knocked over and opened. In LBE it was suggested that they are put on top of a wheelie for collection. Ours have two locking positions of the handle. I just find that not leaving it near the edge of the steps works. I'm sure that other people have ideas and ways of making their FWB's unattractive to foxes and rats. |
