Business Collection

A local food-waste collection service that offers greater sustainability, reliability, and flexibility, while empowering our local communities

Why should your business recycle food-waste?

Cost Savings

Food waste is very heavy and dense. Removing this from your general waste will decrease its weight and volume, reducing your waste collection costs.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Recycling food-waste is one of the easiest things businesses can do to significantly reduce their carbon footprint. We help you do that by redirecting your waste away from landfill, towards anaerobic digestion facilities, where it gets turned into bio-energy and fertilizer.

Incoming Legislation

By March 2025, all businesses with 10 or more full-time employees are going to be legally obligated to recycle their food-waste. By March 2027, the same applies to all businesses with less than 10 full-time employees!

 FAQs

  • We typically collect from businesses once-a-week or twice-a-week. Alternate collection frequencies can also be discussed to suit your preferences.

  • We can recycle all types of food-waste, including but not limited to bones, meat, dairy, cooked foods, tea bags, coffee grounds, carbs, fruits, and vegetables.

  • Reliability is incredibly important to us, and one of our USP’s - we have developed a multi-stage collection system to ensure your waste is never missed, or your money back. We have also partnered with logistics companies to borrow their vehicles if anything happens to our fleet, as we know that the last thing you would want is smelly food-waste causing a hygiene risk at your premises!

  • We initially took business food-waste to our network of local composters during our pilot, however we could only process compostable food-waste. This meant we couldn’t accept cooked food, meat, or dairy, which makes up the bulk of most business food-waste! Anaerobic digestion facilities can process all types of food-waste, and actually create greater overall reductions in carbon emissions, because in addition to preventing methane emissions from food-waste decomposing at landfill, it also provides a substitute for fossil fuels.

  • We provide various shapes and sizes of both indoor and outdoor bins to match your space requirements. Our indoor bins range from 20 litres to 120 litres, and our outdoor bins range from 140 litres to 360 litres.

  • Nope, we provide as many bins as you need free of charge!

  • Yes! We will routinely provide you statistics and graphics you can share on your social media that outline how recycling your food-waste with us has reduced your carbon footprint, and helped us facilitate community composting schemes across the city.
