Recycle food waste
For food waste that cannot be avoided or redistributed, do the green thing and get recycling! Below are just a few of the recycling companies that can collect your food waste.
cambridge city council
Cambridge City Council offer a food waste collection service for businesses to recycle all types of food waste. The waste is taken to an ‘in-vessel’ composting plant at the Amey Waste Management Park near Waterbeach, where it undergoes an intensive, fast composting process. The resulting soil conditioner is sold for local agriculture, and is also available for householders to collect free of charge! Find out more about the process here.
The City Council can collect your food waste as frequently as required and offer a variety of different sized bins and bags.
To find out more, contact the Commercial Waste team on wasteandstreets@cambridge.gov.uk or 01223 458282.
