Why should I recycle food waste?

It’s the law in Scotland if you are a business producing 5kg or more of food waste per week that it should be recycled.

Don’t risk not complying and a £10,000 fine! Also having it as a separate waste stream will also prevent contamination of other waste helping with recycling of all your other materials.
