A double decker bus carries the same number of people as 40 cars. And it's going there anyway.

The issues you face

You are not alone in tackling the problem of safe and cost effective disposal of food waste – every organisation in the food industry has these issues, as do local authorities, waste contractors and the farming community.  

For the food industry – producers, distributors and retailers alike – the major concerns are how to:

  • Reduce food waste disposal costs.
  • Eliminate waste sent to landfill.
  • Deal with packaged waste more effectively.
  • Show you are environmentally astute and serious about corporate social responsibility.
  • Ensure your brand – and that of your customers – is enhanced by your green credentials.
  • Meet environmental and associated regulations.
  • Access the best food waste disposal solutions.
  • Reduce the food miles involved with waste disposal.
  • Minimise environmental concerns in association with your community and your local authority.
  • Improve your recycling record.
  • Maximise use of your existing resources and eliminate hassle factors.

You probably have a few more issues – but from those we’ve listed, you can see that we understand the complexities the food industry faces in dealing responsibly with food waste disposal.

Our aim, quite simply, is to help you to make the right choice for your organisation with a proven, sustainable, value for money and cost effective solution – which will also help differentiate you from your competitors.

But I’m only small!

There’s a perception that a pub, small caterer or restaurant can’t participate because of the relatively small amount of waste to be collected – and that there isn’t room for large recycling bins… and infrequent collections will create a build up of odour, vermin and other health and safety risks through food waste lying around.

We are conscious of these pressures, especially in city and town centres, as well as the cost of collection. Our partnerships with authorised waste contractors include a daily ‘food round’ collection, the quantity collected from individual establishments not being an issue. There is a variety of recycling bin sizes to suit all establishments.

Our aim is to provide you with the highest standard of service and competitive prices for all food waste, packaged and unpackaged.
