Businesses in Yorkshire have until 31 March to comply with new food waste recycling regulations before stricter nationwide laws take effect.
Under the new rules, companies must separate all commercial food waste and arrange for collection by an authorised service provider. Disposing of food waste through general waste, maceration, or liquid digestors will be prohibited, and businesses will be held accountable for compliance.
Firms will also be required to measure, monitor, and document their food waste, making records available for audits. Non-compliance could result in fines, enforcement action, or prosecution.
