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.

Thanks for recycling your food waste – every bit helps!
