Hospitality Waste Legislation
Hospitality waste is governed by a number of rules and regulations according to the type of waste generated.
All businesses with 10 or more employees must properly segregate their waste streams according to Simpler Recycling Laws. Further to this, specific businesses must adhere to specific rules. For example, restaurant food waste cannot be sent to landfill and must be processed responsibly.
Hotel waste disposal must be done properly to satisfy hazardous waste laws. With the scale and scope of legislation, using a licensed waste carrier that prioritises recycling is the easy, stress free way to take care of hospitality waste and guarantee industry compliance.

How can I reduce hospitality waste?
With so many waste types generated in the hospitality industry, you need to first separate each waste stream. Food waste is one of the key concerns; to help tackle this you can implement food waste reduction strategies, like portion control, using leftovers creatively and even donating unused food. For packaging, consider refillable options and buy from sustainable manufacturers. Hotel waste disposal can be reduced by using digital communications instead of paper and asking guests to opt-in to laundry services.
Educating staff and working as a team, along with using a responsible waste management provider can also positively contribute to reducing hospitality waste.
How often should restaurant bins be emptied?
As a general rule, no indoor bin should exceed 75% capacity, and all food waste should be removed daily.
How often to empty bins specifically depends on the volume of waste generated, the type of waste, and the size of the bins.
- Kitchen bins in food-prep areas should be emptied every few hours or when they are around three-quarters full
- General waste bins can typically be emptied daily or more often during the day if they are full
- Recycling bins vary, with cardboard needing to be cleared daily, plastics every one to two days, and glass every one to three days.
- Restaurant waste oil collection usually happens weekly
Why is hospitality industry waste management so important?
The hospitality industry generates a significant amount of waste. This includes food, packaging, and hazardous materials, which can all negatively impact the environment.
Effective hospitality waste management helps minimise landfill contributions and reduce the associated pollution. In doing so, hospitality and leisure venues comply with, and support, sustainability goals.
Efficient hospitality waste management can also result in lower waste costs through recycling and waste reduction. Composting initiatives for example, can repurpose waste into valuable resources. Using sustainable waste solutions enhances brand reputation to attract more customers and positive attention.
What are the 3 Rs of hospitality waste?
Reduce, reuse, and recycle are the 3 Rs of hospitality waste. It’s a simple but important mantra that aims to minimise the impact of hospitality waste.
- Reduce focuses on cutting down the amount of waste produced. For example, by promoting portion control and better inventory management, and opting for fewer single-use items.
- Reuse encourages finding ways to repurpose resources within an organisation. This might mean using cloth napkins instead of disposable ones or turning glass bottles into decorative items or storage.
- Recycle involves ensuring that waste that cannot be reduced or reused is recycled and, ultimately, diverted from landfill sites.
