Click Waste UK – Waste Management – Food Waste
If your business has a large kitchen or canteen or you run a bar, restaurant, café, or any other environment where food waste is regularly produced, Click Waste UK can support you by ensuring your food waste is handled and disposed of in the best way. We work with many businesses and manage the collection of thousands of food waste bins every week. Our service plans give you flexibility to adjust collection schedules to meet the ever-changing needs of your business; and we do all of this without tying you down to a contract.
Food Waste Management Solutions
If not handled correctly, food waste can become a problem for your business, attracting unwanted pests like rats, mice and seagulls. Food waste is also incredibly heavy, and if disposed of through your general waste stream, it will often result in you having to pay expensive excess weight charges. So, it’s beneficial for your business and the environment to manage commercial food disposal properly and ensure as much food waste as possible is sent for recycling.
Produce suitable for commercial food waste recycling
Most food waste is suitable for our food waste collection service, including:
- Fruit & vegetables – raw or cooked, including peelings
- Meat & fish – raw or cooked
- Egg shells
- Rice, pasta and cereals
- Bread cakes and pastries
- Tea bags and coffee grounds
- Leftover food from dishes and plates
- Dairy products – not liquids
Across most of Scotland businesses are obligated to segregate food waste from all other waste streams. These same obligations are expected to applicable to businesses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the next few years. Click Waste UK can help you achieve your food waste recycling targets with services specifically tailored to your needs.
The commercial food waste recycling process
Once you have a food waste service plan in place, Click Waste UK will arrange for the contents to be taken away to an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facility. The AD process breaks down the food waste, recycling it into biofertiliser and biogas. The green energy produced from recycling your food waste it supplied to the National Grid where it’s used to power our homes and businesses. The biofertiliser is used by UK farmers to help grow the fruit and vegetables that end up back on our plates.
The benefits of correct commercial food waste disposal
Click Waste UK’s commercial food waste collection service plan ensures that your business gets the maximum benefit from all the food waste you produce while simultaneously benefiting the environment. When food waste breaks down in a landfill site it releases methane; which is a powerful greenhouse gas that’s about 25 times more harmful to the environment than CO2. Our service plan transforms your food waste from a problem into a resource.
