Food waste
The food waste we collect from you is recycled into renewable energy and fertiliser for local farms.
It is treated using a natural process called anaerobic digestion, which uses microorganisms to break down food waste without oxygen and turn it into useful products.
Recycling your food waste:
- Stops your black bin filling up so quickly.
- Helps recycle more than half of what goes into black bins, instead of burning it.
- Produces renewable energy.
- Creates fertiliser for local agriculture.
- Helps reduce carbon emissions.
- Help you to waste less food as you will see how much you are throwing away.
