Food Waste Subscriptions

Collective makes it easy for residents to access food waste collection services and request new containers and caddies as they require to help local authorities meet their food waste collection goals and promote sustainability.

Create renewable energy: Food waste that enters the general waste stream usually ends up being landfill waste or incinerated. Collecting it separately, which has been legal duty since March 2026, means it can go through a process which generates renewable power by producing organic fertiliser.
Promote a circular economy: Transforming food waste into renewable energy and fertiliser contributes to a circular economy, allowing food waste to become part of the growing process of new food.

Experience lower disposal costs: Food waste is heavy, which can increase the cost of your general waste bin collection when combining both waste streams. Food waste bins are cheaper, and separation could potentially lower your waste disposal costs.
