Where separated
food waste goes.

Food waste mixed with other rubbish usually ends up at a dump site. When it is collected separately, it can be composted or used to make biogas.

Why it matters

Composting

Compost for soil.

Suitable scraps break down into compost that improves growing ground.

Biogas

Gas for cooking and energy.

In a sealed digester, food waste can produce biogas for cooking or energy.

The route depends on the processor and the material. BINMAN connects you with collection and processing partners; it does not run these facilities itself.

Who does what.

Five groups take part, from households to processors. Select one to see what it does.

Households

Separate what they can at home and drop it off through their community hub.
