Food waste regulations

Food businesses (such as cafés, restaurants, or takeaways) producing over 5 kg of food waste per week must take all reasonable steps to collect food waste separately.

Along with this requirement to separate food waste for collection, there will also be a ban on the non-domestic use of food waste disposal units (macerators) and food waste digesters where food is discharged into public sewers directly or indirectly.

Are you doing all you can to meet your legal waste requirements?
