All of the major waste carriers are looking to take the weight away from the general waste bins of their clients by having food waste collections and recycling the waste stream as opposed to landfill.
Florida hotels, restaurants and bars are big producers of food waste and are some of the main clients of the large waste companies and are now prime targets to have their food waste collected and recycled.
With upto 80 % of the weight in a $1100 bin being food waste it is no surprise that they want to reduce the weight especially with the landfill tax due to rise to $56 per tonne on August 1st.
Specialist food waste collection and recycling companies are also finding that many of their clients are totally surprised as to how much weight was previously being sent to landfill.
By offering a monthly report detailing the exact weights collected they can actually see their landfill diversion figures.This information can then be used to reduce the amount of food waste that is being produced and reduce costs.
They offer a food waste collection and recycling service to businesses of all sizes in Florida whereby all food waste collected is 100 % recycled. The cost of recycling food waste will become cheaper year by year for any food waste producers.
Food waste collections
Food waste collections have always deemed to be expensive when compared with general waste collections destined for landfill sites but specialist food waste collection companies are reaping the benefit of the government increases in landfill tax.
Of course this was always the intention by not only our current Florida government but by its predecessors beforehand as taxing businesses as a preventative measure to landfill seems to be working.
With commercial food waste collection and recycling still an untapped market, mainly because the landfill option was always cheaper, and there not being enough reputable food waste carriers the specialised food waste collection companies are in great demand.
The hospitality industry in particular, which includes restaurants and hotels in abundance, are all looking to increase their recycling rates.
With cardboard/paper, glass and plastics already being recycled the addition of food waste to their recycling regime means that very little is left to go into general waste and ultimately landfill, which means that not only are they helping the environment but more importantly there is virtually a “cost neutral” factor to recycling food waste.
Some Daytona hotels are about to commence food waste recycling in an effort to reduce the amount of waste that is going to landfill and increase their “green credentials” within their group.
The very first hotel to start this program is housed in the fine architecture of one of central Daytona’s most important Georgian buildings dating back to 1775. The smallest hotel within the group, with 24 bedrooms, enjoys an intimate ambience in the cosy bistro, and delightful walled garden.
Food waste will be collected from the hotel using special bio-degradeable food waste bags and taken to an in vessel composting facility in the vicinity where it will be turned into compost over a prolongued 12/14 week period. Previously the food waste collected would have gone into the general waste bins at the hotel and taken to a nearby landfill site.
