FAQs

How often should I empty the caddy?

For best results and to prevent odours, empty the caddy every 2 to 3 days.

How often do I need to change the carbon filter?

You should replace the integrated carbon filter every 3 to 4 months.

Is the compost caddy dishwasher safe?

It is recommended to wash the caddy by hand with warm, soapy water to maintain its longevity.

Can I put all food waste in the caddy?

It is best used for vegetable peelings, fruit scraps, and tea bags. Avoid meat, dairy, and oils to prevent rapid decomposition and unwanted odours.

Does the caddy come with extra filters?

The unit includes the initial filter; replacement filters are typically sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Persistent odours even with the lid closed

The carbon filter is likely exhausted; replace it with a fresh filter and ensure the lid seals properly.

Pests or fruit flies appearing around the bin

Empty the contents into your outdoor compost heap immediately and ensure the rim of the lid is clean and clear of food debris.

Staining on the interior of the container

Soak the caddy in a solution of warm water and mild dish soap to lift stubborn organic stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Garland Compost Caddy is straightforward. Simply ensure the carbon filter is securely seated inside the lid compartment. No tools are required. For care, hand wash the interior of the caddy with warm, soapy water after every cycle to prevent residue build-up. While the exterior can be wiped down with a damp cloth, avoid abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the finish. To ensure the odour-trapping capabilities remain at peak performance, schedule a filter replacement every 3 to 4 months. If you notice any persistent smells, it is likely time to swap the old filter for a new one.
