Product Information
Full details
The Purely Home Highland Cow & Calf Food Waste Caddy is designed for eco-conscious homeowners who want an aesthetically pleasing solution for managing organic kitchen scraps. Its primary benefit is the combination of a charming decorative exterior with practical odor-management features, making it an excellent countertop companion for food preparation. Users should note, however, that with its 2-litre capacity, it requires frequent emptying compared to larger outdoor compost bins, making it best suited for small kitchens or daily waste collection.

FAQs
Does this caddy include a carbon filter?
The caddy features a dedicated holder for a carbon filter, which helps significantly with odor control.
What size bags should I use?
This unit is designed to be compatible with 5-litre compostable waste bags.
Is the enamel base dishwasher safe?
No, you should only hand wash the enamel base using a damp cloth to preserve the finish.
Can the inner bucket be washed in the dishwasher?
The plastic inner bucket is generally easy to clean by hand with warm soapy water, which is recommended to maintain its longevity.
What are the exact dimensions?
The unit measures 22.5cm in height, 16.5cm in width, and 16.5cm in depth.
Troubleshooting
Persistent kitchen odors
The carbon filter may be saturated. Replace the filter and ensure the venting holes are clear of debris.
Inner bucket is difficult to remove
Ensure the compostable bag is not overflowing or stuck against the enamel walls. Empty the bucket more frequently.
Lid does not sit flush
Check that the liner bag is not bunched up near the rim, preventing the bamboo lid from sealing correctly.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your caddy, simply insert the plastic inner bucket into the enamel base. When using liners, tuck the excess bag material down between the plastic liner and the enamel shell to keep it hidden from view before securing the bamboo lid.
Care Instructions:
- Outer Base: Wipe with a damp cloth; do not submerge the enamel shell in water.
- Inner Bucket: Can be removed and washed in warm, soapy water for thorough sanitization.
- Lid: Wipe the bamboo lid with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the natural wood finish.
- Filters: Check the integrated carbon filter every few months and replace it when you notice a reduction in odor-neutralizing performance.
