Food waste collected by us is returned to one of our two operational hubs in Winsford or Ellesmere Port. Our unique 'big bite' collection vehicles bulk up the food before it is taken to an anaerobic digestion facility.
This process converts food waste into a valuable source of green energy and fertiliser.
