Left-over food from restaurants and food preparation waste can be unhygienic, unsightly and can damage your reputation. Grays Waste Services have been collecting and disposing of restaurant food waste across London since 1947.
Un-saleable, out-of-date food from supermarkets and shops can be collected weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, or even one-off. Grays Waste Services are classified as an Upper Tier waste carrier with the environment agency and can carry Cat 1, 2 and 3 ABP and meat waste.
With our fleet of modern, custom made vehicles visiting London most days, you can be assured that any food waste will be collected and disposed of quickly and cost-effectively. All waste collected is either recycled or reused, minimising your environmental impact.
Since 1947, we have collected food waste and category 3 ABP Waste across all districts and boroughs in London and the Greater London area.

London is now Europe's largest city, with a population of over 8.6m. It is now the 6th richest place to live in the world (source: Wikipedia and BBC). There are now more than 17,000 restaurants in London (source: London Majors office) with the average cost of a meal for two with wine being around £60. As well as being one of the most culturally vibrant cities in the world, it is also home to 49 celebrity restaurants (source: Open Table) and over 4500 clubs and bars. The average Londoner eats out 3.7 times a week, and despite having over 17,000 restaurants in London only 66 of them have Michelin Stars (source: Michelin).
On average each year a restaurant throws away the food equivalent in weight to a London Routemaster Bus. The main areas of wastage are preparation, stock wastage and portion sizes.
Grays Waste Services have been servicing the waste management needs of London since 1947.
We are now proud to be one of the leading specialist food waste and category 3 waste collection companies...
"We have 10 restaurants across London, each one creating a different amount of food waste. Grays offer us a bespoke service, providing the relevant bin size for each of our restaurants. This keeps our cost at a minimum."
"We had several quotes in for setting up a weekly food waste collection. Grays Waste were the lowest, and we’ve not had any issues over the last 18 months of using the service."
"Knowing that all the food waste generated by our chain of restaurants is disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way means we can feel better about doing what we can for the environment and everyone’s future. It’s good to know that Grays take the environmental aspect so seriously."
