Food Recycling Collection near me
Our food recycling service sends food waste to make renewable energy and costs less than general waste.
Food waste recycling also prevents contamination into your recycling bins such as paper, compostables, and flexible plastics - and collections of food recycling are offered daily.
When food waste goes to landfill, it decomposes under uncontrolled conditions and releases methane, which is 23x more dangerous to the planet than carbon dioxide.
So by recycling food waste, you spend less and make your business greener - what's not to like?

The problem with Food Waste
Food waste is also really bad for the environment. Every year, an area larger than China is used to produce food that's never consumed. This means major deforestation, endangered animals and degradation of soil.
The production of this amount of food that goes to waste also accounts for 25% of all global fresh water consumption - all for nothing.
It gets worse: when all this food waste reaches the landfill, it decomposes under unsuitable conditions, generating methane gas that is 23 times more deadly than carbon dioxide. This is why kitchen waste recycling is so important.
