Eco Food Recycling collect commercial food waste from the following sectors of the commercial marketplace:
- Food waste can be collected from Hotels – Food production in hotels causes food waste from three main area’s, food preparation, plate scrapings and over production of foodstuffs or out of date stock.Although we would prefer to receive food waste that is “naked” ie: not in packaging, we are able to accomodate packaged food.
- Food waste can be collected from Universities/Colleges – Food waste at these particular establishments is generally very heavy but Eco Food Recycling have the expertise to collect food waste from Campus restaurants and food producing area’s but also can assist with food waste being diverted from landfill by implementing a halls of residence collection service if so required.With our specialised on -board weighing mechanism on our fleet of vehicles we can give an accurate bin lifts and weights report on a monthly basis to help achieve recycling targets.
- Food waste can be collected from Restaurants – Food waste from this form of eating establishment can be very varied depending if the produce is delivered pre-prepared or the food preparation is done within the kitchen area under the guidance of the head chef. There will always be plate scrapings at the end of any meal even at the very top restaurants and this can be collected by Eco Food Recycling and recycled at our chosen disposal site.
- Food waste can be collected from Pubs – This is one area that is still expanding in a very difficult economic climate and food waste is in abundance as we are fully aware as we are currently collecting from one of the largest pub chains in the UK.
- Food waste can be collected from Hospitals – In every hospital across the land there is a captive audience for food although a lot of the patients do not fell “well enough” for a full and healthy meal resulting in food waste at the end of the day. Because of the vast amount of patients at some hospitals the food preparation area’s are huge and certain NHS Hospitals are obliged to hit certain recycling targets and reduce waste to landfill. Private Hospitals also produce large volumes of food waste and zero waste to landfill can be achieved in this waste stream by having it collected by Eco Food Recycling on their collection rounds.
- Food waste can be collected from Care Homes – Nursing Homes and Care Homes in the public and private sector accomodate mostly elderley residents that do not have the same appetites as a maybe younger and healthier adults so the food waste, although the quality and portion control is excellent, can be in large amounts.Weekly or daily collections of the food waste from Care Homes can be collected by Eco Food Recycling.
- Food waste can be collected from Supermarkets – Supermarkets and mini-markets are prime producers of food waste with out of date produce and end of day foodstuffs including fruit and vegetables being a main source of food waste.Eco Food Recycling have a fleet of vehicles that are available to collect food waste from supermarkets.
- Food waste can be collected from Fast Food Outlets – With legislation due in the coming years to divert food waste from landfill it will be fast food outlets of all sizes that will require the services of companies such as Eco food Recycling to collect their food waste and have it recycled.
- Food waste can be collected from any producer of food that has freezer breakdowns – Eco Food Recycling are able to liase with Insurance companies when freezer breakdown or malfunction causes food to be contaminated and requires it to be disposed of and recycled.
