Types of restaurant waste collections
Restaurants generate various types of commercial waste that require proper management. Here’s a breakdown of the most common waste types:
Food waste
Food waste arises from perishable ingredients and uneaten meals. Most UK restaurants must arrange a dedicated commercial food waste collection. For more information, visit our guide to commercial food waste recycling obligations.
Cardboard waste
Commercial cardboard waste includes materials like cardboard boxes commonly used for bulk ingredient purchases and deliveries. Proper recycling of cardboard helps reduce landfill waste.
Mixed Recycling waste
Dry mixed recycling includes recyclable items such as aluminium cans, plastic bottles, paper, and certain types of plastic packaging. These materials can be placed in a single bin and sorted at recycling facilities.
Glass
Commercial glass waste comes from beverage bottles, broken glassware, and jars. This type of waste is common in both front-of-house and kitchen operations.
Sanitary waste
Sanitary waste includes hygiene products disposed of in restroom bins. Proper sanitary bins are essential to maintain hygiene and prevent odours.
General waste
General waste includes non-recyclable and contaminated materials such as mixed packaging, used napkins, waxed cups, and plastic cutlery.
Commercial bins in restaurants
Restaurant waste management relies on having the right types of commercial bins to handle specific waste streams effectively. Here’s a breakdown of the essential bin types and what they collect:
General waste bin
Handles non-recyclable materials such as food wrappers, contaminated paper products, waxed cups, and plastic cutlery. This bin is essential for waste that cannot be composted or recycled.
Recycling bins
Used for materials that can be recycled, including cardboard, clean plastics, aluminium cans, and paper. This bin ensures recyclable waste is kept separate and sent to the appropriate processing facilities.
Food waste bin
Designed for food waste such as food scraps, coffee grounds, fruit peels, and spoiled ingredients. These bins are crucial for restaurants that are required to separate food waste for commercial recycling or general waste.
Used cooking oil container
Used to collect used cooking oil and grease from frying and other cooking processes. Proper disposal through this container allows the oil to be recycled into biodiesel or other useful products. Learn more about proper disposal in our how to dispose of waste cooking oil page.
Glass only bin
Exclusively for glass waste such as bottles, jars, and broken glassware. Glass recycling plays a vital role in the circular economy, as it can be endlessly recycled into new products without losing its quality or purity.
