Can I leave food waste inside packaging?
No, this waste type must be totally separate from packaging. Some food will go in to composting or to feed livestock, therefore cannot be contaminated.
Is food waste bad for the environment?
Yes – food waste releases large amounts of greenhouse gasses which has a negative and dangerous effect on the environment. Rotten food produces methane – One of the largest contributors to greenhouse has emissions. Furthermore, food entices vermin.
Can I have my food waste emptied as and when or on a monthly basis?
No, food waste bins must be emptied regularly to avoid enticing unwanted vermin and the risk of disease spreading.

Yes, we provide Waste Transfer notes and Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes subject to collection type. This information is permanently available for you to view and download on our customer portal.
How easy to access and use is your customer portal?
Extremely simple to use, we have recently carried out a survey (December 2022) on the ease of use and accessibility of our portal amongst over 2000 customers and we didn’t receive a single negative comment. The feedback received was a mix of 4 and 5 stars.
How do I arrange regular and ad-hoc collections?
Regular collections are arranged at the outset of your agreement and are logged on to our customer portal with a start and end date. You will then be able to view the agreed collection dates during the entire service. Ad-hoc collections can be arranged via our customer portal, email or the trusted way of phoning in to our customer services team who will then arrange the service quickly and efficiently.
