Unveiling Our Brand New Food Waste Lorry to Support Greener, Easier Recycling - KCM Waste Management

KCM Waste Management is proud to announce the arrival of our brand-new food waste lorry, an important investment that reinforces our commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and future-ready waste solutions.

As food waste regulations continue to evolve, this new addition to our fleet ensures we can support organisations and households with smoother, more reliable, and environmentally responsible collections.

Supporting Simpler Recycling Regulations for Businesses

Businesses must now separate food waste from general waste under England’s new Simpler Recycling framework, which took effect in Spring 2025.

Our upgraded food waste lorry helps businesses stay compliant by providing:

  • More reliable collection schedules – A larger, modern vehicle means improved capacity and fewer missed collections.
  • Cleaner, easier food waste handling – Purpose-built technology helps reduce odours, spills, and contamination risks.
  • A fully licensed, environmentally responsible service – As a licensed waste carrier, KCM ensures all food waste is collected, transported, and processed safely and ethically.

Turning Food Waste Into Energy

All food waste collected by KCM is processed and converted into renewable energy, which helps power operations at our site.

This means your food scraps aren’t going to landfill.

Instead, they contribute to:

  • Cleaner energy production – Reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
  • Lower carbon emissions – Helping businesses and households reduce their environmental footprint.
  • A circular economy – Where waste becomes a resource, not a problem.

By choosing KCM, you’re supporting a greener system where nothing goes to waste.
