When food caddies are up and running, most food waste will be accepted. This includes plate scrapings, peelings, cooked food, bones, meat, fish, tea bags and pet food.
Liquids, packaging and garden waste should not be included, however.
Warwickshire County Council advises lining your caddy with newspaper or a compostable liner to keep it clean.
It says residents in the region should contact their local council for the most up-to-date information.
