What we use

Food Waste Collection in Richmond, your way.

We recommend the right container for your site. The smallest one that works, not the biggest one with the fattest margin.

Why FJL in Richmond

Local enough to care, big enough to deliver.

Richmond is conservation-area territory with tight access and high expectations. National contractors do not love it. We have collected here for years, our drivers know the loading windows on George Street and the riverside bin stores, and we deliver the level of service the local hospitality expects.

Legally required

Most Richmond 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 Richmond kitchen rounds. Food waste is the one stream you cannot let sit.

Paperwork handled

Waste transfer documentation kept on file and produced on request, for EHO visits and client audits.

FAQ

Common questions about food waste collection in Richmond.

Do I legally need separate food waste collection in Richmond?

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 Richmond kitchens, restaurants and canteens the answer is yes.

How often do you collect food waste in Richmond?

As often as you need, from daily on busy Richmond 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 Richmond 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.
