Reviews
Hear from some of our happy customers
"NRC completed a full site audit and advised us on improvements we could make increasing recycling and reducing costs. They worked with our team to help everyone understand what we are trying to achieve. We have since invested in new equipment and the waste management process is much more efficient – and we now recycle over 90% of our waste. The NRC team are responsive and attend site whenever we need them."

What happens to my collected restaurant waste?
Recycling food waste uses innovative processes that transform the waste into valuable resources. Two of the most common methods of restaurant food waste disposal include:
- Anaerobic digestion breaks down food waste without oxygen and is the main method used by NRC and throughout the UK.
- In-vessel composting uses specific temperatures to decompose food waste in a controlled environment.
Any restaurant food waste, from coffee grounds to banana skins, can be treated in this way. It’s a cost-effective and sustainable way to efficiently manage your restaurant waste disposal.
We are committed to sustainability in everything we do, proudly diverting 99% of the restaurant waste we collect away from landfills. Of this, 43% is recycled and 56% is converted into green energy.
