Food waste

Diverted, not landfilled

WASTELOGIC SERVICE

Food waste, kept out of landfill.

Kitchen and canteen scraps collected separately, weighed on every lift, and sent to a consented composting or organics processor — so the weight you divert is measured, not estimated.

EVERY LIFT, ON THE RECORDThe goal: this stays out of landfill.
DIVERTED, LAST 6 MONTHS▲ by weight
How it’s weighed: every caddy or bin is weighed on collection and checked for contamination — the diverted weight lands in your monthly report.

A few habits protect the whole load.

Food scraps travel together — one contaminated caddy can send the whole load back to landfill.

CHECKED EVERY COLLECTIONFlagged before it ends up back in landfill.Loads are checked as they’re collected — anything non-organic is recorded against your site and lands in your monthly report with a practical fix.
Weighed — every collectionChecked — contamination flagsReported — monthly, in writing
Line caddies only with certified compostable liners
Keep packaging and plastic out — even a little spoils the load
Tip liquids away first; scraps go in loose
Keep caddies close to prep and dish areas
Rinse and swap caddies on each collection
Keep signage visible at every bin point
WHEN CONTAMINATION SHOWS UP

Flagged, fixed, then re-measured.

On costs: contamination handling charges are set out in your quote and flagged in your report before they recur — nothing arrives unexplained.

Food-waste questions, answered.

Where does the food waste go?

To a consented composting or organics processor, not landfill. The destination is recorded against your site each month.

Do you take meat, fish and bones?

Most of what a commercial kitchen produces is accepted. A few processors exclude certain items — we confirm what yours takes at quote stage.

What about compostable packaging?

Only certified-compostable liners, and only where the processor accepts them. Ordinary or 'degradable' plastic contaminates the load.

How do you keep smell and pests down?

Smaller bins collected more often, sealed caddies, and a rinse-and-swap on each lift. We size frequency to your volume.

Is it weighed like the other streams?

Yes — every caddy or bin is weighed on collection, so your diverted weight is measured and reported monthly.

Do we need to separate it ourselves?

Yes — scraps go in the caddy at the source. Clean separation is what keeps it out of landfill and out of the general bin.
