Clean bins every time

Clean bins every time

Our clean bin swap service is a key reason businesses choose ReFood. At each collection, we replace your bin with a freshly sanitised one.

  • No washing bins
  • No residue build-up
  • No lingering smells
  • A more hygienic waste area

For many businesses, this eliminates the need for separate bin-cleaning services.

Segregation made easy

No specialist bags. No complicated sorting. For most kitchens, it’s simply a separate bin for plate scrapings and food prep waste. No picking through bins. No fishing out napkins or sachets.

If it’s food waste, it goes in the food waste bin. We guide you so your team feels confident from day one.

A cleaner waste area overall

Separating food waste stops leftovers and liquids from ending up in the general waste.

  • Cleaner bins across your site
  • Fewer smells
  • A tidier waste area

Reliable, flexible, and transparent service

We own and operate our own processing plants, which enables us to manage the entire process, from collection through to recycling, without relying on brokers or third parties. This integrated approach eliminates confusion and ensures that a single, accountable provider oversees your entire service.

Our dedicated customer service team is available to support you throughout your partnership with us. You will speak directly with knowledgeable professionals who are familiar with your specific requirements, rather than navigating a scripted call centre. This prompt and practical assistance proves especially valuable in the fast-paced environment of a busy kitchen.

Given the seasonal and demand-driven nature of the hospitality sector, we offer flexible collection schedules that can be adjusted as your business expands or experiences peak periods. This adaptability helps avoid unnecessary collections while preventing bins from overflowing.

  • No bin rental fees.
  • No duty of care fees.
  • No bin cleaning charges.
  • No overweight fees.

  • The concept was straightforward and simple. Very easy, and in the 5-years we've worked with them, it's been fantastic.

  • ReFood was great, setting us up with our regular collections and sorting us out with an ideal solution for our needs. The collections are reliable, and it's great to know our waste produce is being given a new life as a greener energy source.

    Operations Manager, York Coffee Emporium

  • Having used this service now for 6 weeks, I have to say we've been very happy with ReFood. Ebony had handled all administrative aspects perfectly, and the collection of bins has been faultless.

    Jon Smithells

    Six Poor Folk, Cafe Bar Bistro

  • The service so far has been efficient. Good communication, as a busy cafe when food waste comes back you don't feel as bad knowing that it's getting recycled.
