Hi Chaps,
In their ineffable wisdom, the council here have decreed that no bags should be used in their food recycling scheme, not even din tested fully compostable ones or brown paper bags.... only newspaper
so why the post title? I hear you ask..
well, I have a food bin in the Kitchen (7ltrs volume) and I can fold sheets of newspaper to line the bin reasonably well, but the top of the newspaper always flops down after a few additions to the bin, and doesn't really help when trying to keep the worst of the crud off the bin.
So I am looking to buy/make some sort of hinged or spring loaded rectangular clamp which will fit inside the bin and newspaper and push outwards from the inside to clamp the top of the paper to the bin so it doesn't flop down.
plastic strip or wood would be probably ok or metal at a pinch.
anyone have any ideas where I might find one to buy, or suggestions for construction?
any ideas gratefully considered
and I have written to the council telling them what idiots they are for making it hard to actually carry out clean food recycling within the home---If you have a food bin without a liner it gets stinky/greasy pretty quickly.
