If your bin is only getting partially emptied, then it may be overstuffed or compacted. If the rubbish would have been pushed tightly against the bin walls, it may get stuck at the bottom when the bin gets tipped completely upside-down. Please put rubbish loosely to ensure that they get emptied completely. If your food scraps are sticking, put a little bit of water in the bottom of your bin to loosen things up.
