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 Hackney 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Un-saleable, out-of-date food from supermarkets and shops can be collected weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, or even one-off.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 Hackney 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.

The London Borough of Hackney is considered to be the fastest growing London borough. As of 2013 there are 14,180 active businesses in Hackney and a total population of 266,000. The London Borough of Hackney is in the north-east of London but maintains its inner-city character. This is changing, for example gated communities now sit along-side large housing estates in Dalston. Hackney Central is considered the heart of Hackney, and to the east of the borough is the large open space of Hackney Marshes. Businesses around the River Lea area employ over 3000 people.
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 Hackney since 1947.
We are now proud to be one of the leading specialist food waste and category 3 waste collection companies...
"Our family has been using Grays Waste since the 1960's. Despite getting other quotes over the years, we've always found Grays to offer the lowest rates. To remain competitive over 50 years takes some doing, and it shows how important it is for Grays to always stay ahead of their competition."
"With the legislation for food waste changing rapidly, it is important for our organisation that our waste service provider ensures that they are consistently compliant with all regulations, and that they ensure we are compliant also."
"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."
