Restaurant food waste
Food waste in restaurants is the biggest type of trash produced. Restaurants create between 22 and 33 billion pounds of food waste every year in the USA, according to the National Restaurant Association. Of all the food that ends up in landfills across America, 15% comes from restaurants.
Sustainable restaurant food waste management is important. Any food that ends up in landfills will rot and release methane. The USDA claims that food loss and waste in America contributes to 170 million metric tons of carbon dioxide – that’s equivalent to the yearly CO2 emissions of 42 coal-fired power plants.
Reducing restaurant food waste and managing it responsibly should be a priority whether you run a high-end downtown franchise or a local beachfront diner. This can help save your restaurant money, meet your sustainable goals, and benefit the environment. At Business Waste we work to dispose of all food waste away from landfills.
Our restaurant food waste solutions include dumpster rental to separate food from other types of trash, so it’s processed properly. Regular and reliable collections by fully licensed professionals remove your restaurant’s waste food before it starts to smell. They transport it to a composting site or anaerobic digestion plant to generate energy from the waste.
Types of restaurant trash
There are many types of restaurant waste created during daily operations. Food is the main kind of garbage, which includes everything from preparation waste generated in the kitchen to plate waste (leftovers from diners). This should be separated from other trash, so it goes for composting or anaerobic digestion.
Restaurants also produce other waste materials. These include oil from cooking to the empty glass bottles of wine, beer, and soft drinks served, which are recyclable. Segregating restaurant waste with different bins and dumpsters should be done to ensure as much as possible is recycled and disposed of properly.
These are some common types of restaurant trash:
- Food waste – meat, fish, dairy products, baked goods, fruit and vegetables
- Waste oil – used cooking oil, olive and other edible oils
- Solid waste – non-recyclable trash such as packaging
- Glass – empty wine and beer bottles, glass jars for condiments and ingredients
- Cardboard – boxes used to deliver and store ingredients
- Plastics – packaging materials and disposable cups and cutlery
- Electronics – broken and old kitchen appliances and machines
Restaurant waste collection
Regular restaurant waste collection ensures your trash is removed before rotting food emits a bad smell or dumpsters start to overflow. Choose from daily, weekly, and fortnightly pickups for your restaurant’s garbage. Schedule suitable collection frequencies with the best bin and dumpster sizes for cost-effective collections.
You can arrange various restaurant waste pickup frequencies for different materials to meet your needs. For example, you might want food waste removed every day but only need restaurant waste oil collection weekly. Organize waste collection from your restaurant at convenient times to avoid disturbing diners.
We understand every restaurant is different and seasonality can affect the types and volumes of trash you produce. That’s why we offer flexibility when it comes to restaurant waste collection so you can save money and rest assured that your commercial garbage is removed reliably throughout the year.
Restaurant waste disposal
Methods of restaurant waste disposal depend on the materials. At Business Waste, we divert all trash collected from restaurants away from landfills to help protect the environment, improve sustainability, and save your organization money. Different dumpsters and bins are available to segregate garbage and ensure responsible disposal.
Restaurant waste disposal includes:
- Food waste is sent to composting sites or anaerobic digestion plants to generate energy from the organic waste.
- Waste oil is recycled by various processes depending on the type – it’s often dewatered, filtered, and distilled to create new oil.
- Glass is infinitely recyclable so goes to recycling centers and is turned into new glass products.
- Solid waste may be incinerated to avoid it going to landfills.
- Cardboard and paper are recycled and converted into fresh paper and cardboard materials and products.
- Plastics can be recycled depending on their type at specialist recycling centers.
Restaurant waste bins
and dumpsters
A wide range of dumpster types and sizes are available to segregate your restaurant waste and store it securely on-site before collection. Small dumpster rental suits compact restaurants with limited space out back and those that want regular pickup of trash, such as food, to remove it shortly after production.
Large roll offs are also available if you run a large restaurant with plenty of space to place a static waste container. It can make trash collection more affordable as you may require fewer pickups. Combine the best dumpsters and bins for your restaurant with a suitable collection schedule for cost-effective waste management.
