What do we classify
as food recycling?

With its commitment to recycling, Ellgia sends all food waste to a local anaerobic digestion plant, where it is then broken down to produce biogas and bio-fertiliser.

As part of our innovative services we have invested in various different styles of containers, from sealed and covered skips to specifically designed wheelie bins to help smaller producers collect food waste. Our food recycling wheelie bins have rounded bottoms so that food waste doesn’t stick, and replacement liners that are provided on collection to keep the bins clean.

 

Here’s what can go in our food recycling collections:

Scraps
Packaged food
Sandwiches
Meat and fish (uncooked / cooked)

Vegetable peelings
Confectionery
Out-of-date products
Canned food
