Businesses across Adur and Worthing can now turn their leftovers into energy as part of a new commercial food waste collection service.

Adur and Worthing council has worked with many local organisations to develop a resourceful way to recycle rubbish as part of its ongoing sustainability drive.

The new collection service keeps food waste separate from other waste. These leftovers are then treated sustainably and used to generate energy.

With up to 33 per cent of waste collected from local businesses being food, the new service is already helping divert hundreds of kilos of kitchen leftovers and plate waste away from landfill.
