Food Waste Compliance & Responsible Handling

Proper food waste management involves more than simply removing waste from a business premises. Appropriate segregation, storage, collection, transportation, and disposal help businesses maintain cleaner operations and manage food waste responsibly.

Proper Waste Segregation

Food waste should be kept separate from other waste streams wherever practical. Proper segregation can make collection and subsequent handling more efficient.

Suitable Storage

Food waste should be stored in suitable, covered containers or designated storage areas to help minimise odours, leakage, and pest activity before collection.

Regular Collection

A collection schedule should be matched to the business’s waste generation. Frequent collection can help prevent food waste from accumulating for extended periods.

Appropriate Transportation & Disposal

Collected food waste should be handled and transported through appropriate channels and directed to suitable disposal or treatment facilities.

Maintain Clean Collection Areas

Businesses should keep food waste storage and collection areas clean and accessible. Regular cleaning can help maintain hygiene and reduce operational issues associated with accumulated organic waste.

Food Waste Recycling & Sustainability

Effective food waste management can help businesses move beyond simple waste removal and adopt more responsible practices for handling organic waste.

Supporting Responsible Resource Management

Food waste contains organic materials that can potentially be diverted from conventional disposal through appropriate treatment and recovery methods. Separating food waste from other waste streams can support more efficient downstream handling.
