FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS




 * WHAT SHOULD I BE COLLECTING FOR RECYCLING AND COMPOSTING?
   
   Food premises are obligated via the Food Waste Regulations (Northern Ireland)
   2015 which require food premises who produce 5kg or more per week of food
   waste to separate it from other waste streams for recycling.
   
   The following materials are regularly collected and easily recycled by
   businesses and other organisations:
   
    * glass bottles and containers such as drinks bottles, condiment bottles,
      jars etc. and their metal lids
   
    * paper and cardboard including newspapers, cardboard packaging and writing
      paper etc
   
    * plastic bottles, pots, tubs trays and drinks cartons (such as Tetra Pak®)
      which are treated as plastics in recycling collections, due to the plastic
      layer in the laminate
   
    * metal packaging including aluminium cans, foil, aerosol and aluminium
      tubes such as those used for tomato purée, steel cans/ tins and aerosols.
   
   


 * HOW DO I FIND A WASTE CONTRACTOR/RECYCLING SERVICE? 
   
   Both private and public waste collectors operate all over the UK. Many large
   private waste companies operate across the UK whilst other smaller companies
   may only operate in specific local areas. Your local council may also provide
   suitable services.
   
   The internet is a good place to start looking for options but ensure that any
   company you approach is a registered waste carrier, visit the Public Register
   of Waste Carriers, Brokers and Dealers.
