Food Waste

 

Food waste must be collected and disposed of separately other waste. This rule applies no matter how little food waste you have.

Food waste might include:

• food leftovers, including from customer or staff meals

• banana skins and apple cores

• coffee grounds and tea bags

• waste from food preparation, such as onion skins

Packaging labelled ‘compostable’ or ‘biodegradable’ cannot be recycled with food waste.

Caddy liners (including compostable liners) used to hold food waste can be collected.

Cooking fats, oils and greases can either be collected with food waste (for small amounts), or through a used cooking oil collection. You should follow your waste collector’s instructions. You must never put cooking oil down the drain.

Please use the designated bins provided. If you know that you will produce large amounts of food waste please contact the organisers to arrange a dedicated collection.
