We had ramen noodles today, noodles eaten but loads of salty/spicy soup that we mostly leave.

If I let it cool and put in green compostable bins with other food waste it still ends up as a bag with loads of liquid at the bottom that ends up leaking in my green bin which stinks that out until I next clean it.

Toilet? Are there any issues with putting this stuff in the toilet?

Any other solutions. Not just for Ramen obviously but any saucy food waste.

Aibu to use the toilet for food waste?

Flush it down the loo

I freeze it then put it in the bin when it’s time to throw away.

Freeze it into a block and then wrap in newspaper and put it in the food bin on morning of collection.

If it's not sink-able, I put it in a container, stick it in the freezer then put the frozen block in the bin on bin day.

Sorry should have said we sometimes do put it down the sink but sometimes bits of veg etc get in the sink. Plus some sauces are a bit thicker than noodle soup.

Erm down the sink? Unless it's oil/fat in which case I let it solidfy and bin it.

Stuff like that just down the plughole.

I just put noodle water down the sink

why aren’t you pouring it down the sink once cooled
Unless it’s full of fat there’s no reason liquid can’t go down the sink
