WRAP Funded Food Waste Collection Launched in Yorkshire

Waste Management World (10 July 2012):

Yorkshire based waste management company, Yorwaste has launched a service that will enable businesses across Yorkshire to recycle their food waste.

According the scheme will collect waste from around 500 businesses in areas such as York, Harrogate, Ripon, Northallerton, Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Teesside and Scarborough.

The firm said that it estimated that over the next two years the scheme will divert 2500 tonnes of food waste from landfill, with Nestle and the University of York among the organisations to have already signed up for the service.

Customers that sign up to the new service will receive an orange wheelie bin and a kitchen caddy. The company said that they will be able to put food waste in the caddy, which must be lined, and once it is full the liner can be deposited in the larger 240-litre bin.

The company added that once collected the food waste will be taken to several anaerobic digestion facilities in Yorkshire, where it will be converted it into renewable energy.

WRAP funding

The company said that it is one of only seven companies in the UK to receive funding from the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) to run a food waste collection service.

WRAP received over 40 applications for funding and the seven successful companies were selected for their different collection approaches and contractual arrangements.

“We are delighted to have received funding from WRAP to allow us to run a commercial food collection service in Yorkshire,” commented Steve Grieve, managing director of Yorwaste.

According to Grieve the service will have additional benefits because by removing food waste from general waste bins, the company will also be able to recycle more waste through its commercial and industrial material recycling facility in York.

“With Landfill Tax escalating and new processing and treatment options now available, there is a big demand from commercial businesses, particularly those in the food and hospitality sector, for a service of this nature,” he added.
