Food waste collection for businesses
We offer a weekly collection of food waste from all areas of Dorset. We have a variety of bin and container sizes depending on the volume of food waste generated. The containers we offer are:
Container capacity for food waste collection service
| Container size | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| 140L wheeled bin | 1.07m x 0.55m x 0.48m |
| 23L container | 0.35m x 0.4m x 0.4m |
All of the food waste we collect in Dorset is sent to an Anaerobic Digester facility in Dorset, where it is converted into a soil improver and also creates electricity, which is fed back into the national grid.
Please note pictures of bins are for illustrative purposes only. Bin supplied may differ in appearance.
