Why your Hospitality business needs to recycle
Checklist: what your Hospitality business needs to do to comply
What your business needs to do to comply:
Keep waste to a minimum – prevention is always best, so remember to eliminate waste where possible, and reuse and repair if you can. As a food business, you have greater potential to lower your costs by minimising food loss.
Sort and store your recyclables and food waste safely and securely from other waste streams– sort different types of waste to avoid , using clearly labelled containers with covers to stop waste blowing away and getting wet.
Complete a waste transfer note for each load of waste that leaves your business, or a document with the same information, such as an invoice. You’ll need to keep this documentation for two years and be aware that you can complete ‘season tickets’ for a series of loads.
Use a registered waste carrier – visit the Public Register of Waste Carriers, Brokers and Dealers to check if a provider is registered.
Make sure it’s disposed of legally – if the company you use disposes of your waste illegally, such as ‘’, you could be held responsible.
