At Hartes, we’re more than just waste collectors—we’re innovators in creating sustainable, practical solutions for food waste. With the new Simpler Recycling legislation coming into effect in March 2025, we help businesses comply with essential food waste separation requirements while reducing environmental impact and improving efficiency  .

What We Offer:

• Commercial food waste collection across London and surrounding areas, helping businesses meet legal requirements and reduce landfill costs  .

• Comprehensive recycling support, including guidance on separating food waste and improving on-site practices  .

• Education and reporting tools, helping businesses track their waste, reduce surplus, and align with the national food waste hierarchy.
  
  

Why Food Waste Matters:

Every year, a staggering amount of edible food ends up in landfill, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and wasted resources . By composting or recycling food waste, businesses can lower taxes, reduce environmental impact, and move towards a circular economy.

How We Help You:

• Implement separate food waste stream collection, keeping compliance at the forefront of operations.

• Offer used cooking oil collection where needed, reducing cross-contamination with general waste .

• Support food redistribution or composting initiatives if your business has edible surplus — helping meet environmental goals and community needs.~

Hartes goes further by encouraging sustainability at every step. From meal planning and surplus prevention to partnering with redistribution platforms like FareShare, Too Good To Go, and Olio, we support both environmental and social outcomes
