Smarter Solutions for Food Waste

Food waste is one of the largest contributors to landfill across Australia, yet the majority of it can be diverted through the right collection and processing pathway. Waste Choice provides commercial organics and food waste services for businesses of all sizes — from hospitality and retail to food manufacturing and distribution.

We handle both packaged and unpackaged food waste, meaning product that is still in its original packaging (tins, bottles, pouches, or cartons) can be collected alongside loose organic material. Our processing partners use industrial de-packaging technology to separate the organics from the packaging, ensuring maximum diversion from landfill for both streams.

All collections are supported by waste tracking documentation and reporting, helping your business meet its sustainability targets and environmental obligations under Victorian legislation.

Packaged Food Waste

Out-of-date or surplus stock still in tins, bottles, pouches, or cartons. Industrial de-packaging recovers both the organic content and the packaging.

Unpackaged Food Waste

Loose food scraps, prep waste, spoiled produce, and kitchen organics processed through composting or anaerobic digestion.

What We Collect & How It Works

Packaged Food WasteOut-of-date, damaged, or surplus stock still in its original packaging — tins, bottles, pouches, cartons, and vacuum-sealed products. Industrial de-packaging separates organics from packaging material, diverting both streams.

Unpackaged Food WasteLoose food scraps, prep waste, spoiled produce, and kitchen organics from food service, hospitality, and food manufacturing operations. Collected in dedicated bins and processed through composting or anaerobic digestion.

Bin Sizes & Collection Frequency240L, 660L, and 1,100L bins available depending on your volume. Collections scheduled weekly, fortnightly, or on-demand to match your production cycle and minimise odour.

De-packaging TechnologyOur processing partners use industrial de-packaging equipment to extract organic content from sealed packaging at scale — recovering both the organic fraction and the packaging material for separate recycling streams.

Composting & Anaerobic DigestionRecovered organics are processed through commercial composting or anaerobic digestion facilities, producing soil amendments or renewable energy rather than contributing to landfill methane emissions.
