Select your type of operation to see what we review — and where we typically find cost and compliance gaps.
Most independent restaurants and takeaways are overpaying for waste, cooking oil or grease management — and carrying compliance risks they don't know about.
Small food businesses often have the worst waste contractor terms — high fuel surcharges, low weight allowances, and auto-renewals nobody reads.
Hotels, restaurants and venues often have the most complex waste setups — multiple streams, multiple contractors, and hidden costs across every collection.
Delivery-only kitchens run busy, high-temperature operations with no front-of-house — which often means waste and compliance are the last thing anyone looks at.
Street food operators and event caterers move between venues — but waste rules follow the business, not the postcode.
Food manufacturers produce high volumes of food waste, packaging waste and cooking byproducts — often with weak contractor terms and missing paperwork across multiple streams.
Waste rules apply to every business that produces waste. If you have a commercial kitchen, we can review what you're paying and where you stand.
The legal framework
Every business must manage its waste responsibly. We verify transfer notes, carrier licences, and chain of custody.
Mandatory food, dry recyclable and residual separation for all UK businesses. We verify bin setup, labelling and collection contracts.
Discharging fats, oils and grease to sewer is a criminal offence under Section 111. We check grease trap maintenance records and contractor arrangements.
Mandatory from October 2026. Paper waste records are replaced by digital tracking. We assess readiness and identify what needs to be in place.
Classification and handling rules for household, industrial and commercial waste — ensuring the right treatment route for every stream.
We cross-check every contractor against the Environment Agency's public register to confirm they are legally authorised to carry your waste.
The audit process
We agree the site type, waste streams, and any known issues. Remote clients send records in advance; on-site clients book a visit. No drawn-out onboarding — we move within 48 hours.
Every Waste Transfer Note, consignment record, carrier licence, and waste policy is checked for accuracy, completeness, and day-to-day compliance.
On-site: we review waste areas, labels, bin placement, and staff practice. Remote: we assess photos, records, policies, and contractor evidence.
Every finding is RAG-rated — Red (urgent), Amber (needs action), Green (working). We identify what is wrong and why it needs fixing.
A signed PDF with a RAG summary, clear recommendations, and practical actions — ready for internal review, regulator questions, or management sign-off.
