Product Information
Full details
The Wild Rabbits Food Waste Caddy is perfect for eco-conscious homeowners who want to manage food scraps efficiently while maintaining a charming, nature-inspired kitchen aesthetic. Its standout feature is the combination of a decorative ceramic-style exterior with practical, odor-controlling functionality, making it a functional piece of countertop decor. However, users should note that the 2-litre capacity is best suited for small households or those who empty their compost frequently, as it fills up relatively quickly.

FAQs
Does the caddy come with a carbon filter?
Yes, it is designed with an integrated filter holder to help manage odors.
Can I put the whole unit in the dishwasher?
No, only the removable plastic inner bucket should be cleaned in a dishwasher. The exterior should be wiped with a damp cloth.
How often should I empty the caddy?
Given the 2-litre capacity, it is recommended to empty it every 1–2 days, especially when dealing with high-moisture food waste.
Is the exterior made of ceramic?
The product features a decorative design intended for home aesthetics, but the base is constructed for durability.
Can I use standard compostable bags inside?
Yes, you can line the removable inner bucket with small compostable caddy liners for easier cleanup.
Troubleshooting
Noticeable odors coming from the caddy
The carbon filter may be saturated. Replace the filter and ensure the lid is properly seated after each use.
Inner bucket feels difficult to remove
Ensure the bucket is not overfilled. If food waste has become wedged between the bucket and the base, empty the contents and rinse the inside to clear any debris.
Staining on the plastic liner
Soak the removable inner bucket in a solution of warm soapy water or a mild baking soda paste to lift stubborn organic stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your caddy is straightforward. Ensure the carbon filter is correctly seated in the lid holder before first use to activate the odor management system. To maintain the appearance of the floral rabbit design, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth only; avoid using abrasive chemicals or scouring pads on the decorative finish. The internal plastic bucket is dishwasher safe for deep cleaning, but hand washing is recommended to prolong its lifespan. Keep the unit away from direct heat sources like toasters or hobs to prevent damage to the finish.
