Why FJL in Hillingdon

Local enough to care, big enough to deliver.

Hillingdon is a short run from our Uxbridge depot, close enough that our drivers pass through UB10 several times a day. They know the loading bays at Hillingdon Circus, the parking on Ickenham High Road, the service routes into the hospital and the residential roads we keep clear during the school run. If something needs moving at short notice, our Uxbridge depot is only a few minutes away.

Legally required

Most Hillingdon businesses must separate food waste under Simpler Recycling. We set the site up so compliance just happens.

Sealed containers

Lidded caddies and bins that close, so the bin store stays clean and does not attract pests.

Frequency that fits

Daily through to weekly on Hillingdon kitchen rounds. Food waste is the one stream you cannot let sit.

FAQ

Common questions about food waste collection in Hillingdon.

Do I legally need separate food waste collection in Hillingdon?

In England, workplaces with 10 or more full time equivalent employees have had to separate food waste from general waste since 31 March 2025 under the Simpler Recycling rules. Smaller businesses come into scope on 31 March 2027. For most Hillingdon kitchens, restaurants and canteens the answer is yes.

How often do you collect food waste in Hillingdon?

As often as you need, from daily on busy Hillingdon kitchens to weekly on lighter sites. Food waste is the wettest material in the bin store, so the right frequency matters more here than on any other stream.

What containers do you provide?

Sealed 23 litre kitchen caddies for back of house, larger lidded external bins for the bin store, and liners if you want them. We size it to what you actually produce rather than a standard package.

Will separating food waste reduce my costs?

Usually, yes. Food waste is heavy and wet, and pulling it out shrinks your most expensive general waste bin. Many Hillingdon sites end up on a smaller general container after the switch.

Does it help with pests and smell?

It is the single biggest improvement most bin stores can make. Food in a general waste bin sits until the next general collection. In a sealed caddy on a short cycle it is contained and gone.
