Food Waste Recycling for Restaurants in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi

ReLoop provides food-waste collection for businesses across Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. For restaurants, the service starts with an assessment of your available space and the volume of food waste recyclables you generate, so the bins and collection arrangements suit your operation.
Food-waste collection is currently available to businesses only. Contact our team to confirm the food materials you want to recycle and the preparation requirements before starting.

A food-waste setup that fits your restaurant
A restaurant needs a clear routine for separating materials, storing them and preparing them for collection. The right setup depends on the space available and how much material your team handles.
ReLoop assesses your premises and recyclable volume, then determines and provides the appropriate number of recycling bins. Tell us about your kitchen, storage space and other recyclables so we can consider the whole setup.

How to arrange food-waste collection
1. Tell us about your restaurant
Share your location in Dubai, Sharjah or Abu Dhabi, the types of food waste you generate and an estimate of the volume. If you are unsure about the amount, explain your current routine so our team can help assess your needs.
2. Confirm the materials and setup
Our team checks your available space and recyclable volume to recommend suitable bins and arrangements. Confirm which food materials are accepted, how they should be separated and what containers or liners to use before introducing a new routine.
3. Agree the collection arrangements
Discuss collection frequency, access to your premises and pricing with our team as part of your assessment. Business arrangements are based on your requirements; the home-collection plans do not describe restaurant food-waste service.
4. Give your team clear instructions
Make sure everyone handling the bins knows which materials belong in each one and how to prepare them for collection. Keep the agreed instructions near the collection area and check with ReLoop before adding unfamiliar items.
Keep food waste separate from other recyclables
Food waste should have its own agreed collection arrangement. Keep packaging and other materials out of the food-waste stream unless our team has specifically confirmed they are accepted.
Material | How to prepare |
Food waste | Use the agreed food-waste bins. Confirm accepted materials and liners with ReLoop. |
