How do you dispose of Liquid food waste?

[Kago2790]

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?

My mum keeps a sieve over her mini sink for this kind of thing, bits then emptied into the food waste.

I find that a bit yukky so for me, down the loo it goes, along with uneaten catfood etc. Flush, a good squirt of washing up liquid, and flush again.

Anything with fat that might solidify and cause a fatberg I allow to cool and scoop up with kitchen paper, and put the fat in the general waste bin.

Haven't you got a plug drainer thing that catches the bits?

Just pour it down the sink run the tap so dilutes any thicker sauces, do you not have a sink strainer?

Why not? The kitchen sink goes through the same drains as the loo so a little veggie soup is no different to poo.

Always pour liquid down the sink and then the food in the food bin.

@Kago2790 pour down sink through colander, bits in food waste.

A spoonful of bicarbonate of soda and kettle boiled hot water, or a dish washer tablet placed in the plug hole and boiling water poured over regularly will keep the sink/plug hole clean and clear.

Why would anyone put CAT FOOD down the toilet? Don't you have a bin?

Presumably the hole in your sink has a grating over it? So pour liquid away, then put anything trapped in the bin. It's not rocket science!

I have no idea why I am invested in such a low stakes topic… but now I really need to know.

Seriously, do you guys not have these drain strainers in the UK? There is a lot of creative solutions to the disposal of liquid in this thread that seems like a pain in the ass when a very simple solution exists…

Strain , and fluid only down the sink . Bits in the bin or compost .

I always do this. Sieve or colander to catch lumps, then put in food waste caddy once they’ve dried out, liquid down the sink

I drain the liquid into the sink and down the plughole. Any bits left in black bin.

Please don't do this. What does your water company advise?

This clearly requires too much common sense 😄

Tip it down the sink unless it’s got fat in.

And also you're sick in the loo as well so I don't understand why I can't put food down there

Yorkshire Water state that only pee, poo and toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet.

Fatty things I leave to go cold and solid then bin them. Soupy things go through a sieve in the sink, if still sloppy, into some sort of container, like a cone of waste paper or something, then bin. I am currently feuding with OH over his mad obsession with flushing food down the bog which absolutely repels me. He gets it from his mother who loves doing it at any opportunity.
I will not have bits of fish skin floating about in my toilet 😡Vile.

Yes it does. I wouldn't be pushing solid food waste down the sink, some of it will end up in the u bend and start to stink.

Just put it through a strainer.

I sieve it, put the liquid down the sink, and bag the solids; with a piece of kitchen paper to absorb any remaining wet. (I don't have a green waste bin)

Down the loo and flush - which is where it would end up anyway, had it been consumed.

Why would it be yukky putting food waste in your food waste bin?

it’s more than yukky putting cat food and bits of veg down the toilet

anything wasted thats prepared or served as food ( human or pets ) should go in the food waste bin if not consumed unless it’s completely liquid in which case run hot soapy water down the sink drain with it

Fruit or veg peelings and egg shells can go on garden compost bin if you have one

Why is a pp putting cat food down the toilet what's the matter with you ?

Umm so where does vomit go? I haven't vomited in years, but when I have it's always been into the loo. Was that wrong? Where else am I supposed to do it?
