Where our food waste goes

The exciting part, all our food waste is fully composted locally, using methods that can turn food waste into compost within weeks – hence the reasoning behind no compostable food packaging as this does not compost down quickly enough. Some of this compost is then given back to the public via the compost giveaways the East Riding of Yorkshire Council host at different sites throughout the county each year.

“Since opening the Flemingate Centre in Beverley, I've been delighted in the support and rapid response we've received from the ERYC Commercial Waste team. From initial on-site visits to advise on what could be achieved to the individually tailored packages offered to tenants, the service has been both professional and personal. I can't recommend them highly enough”
