Food Waste Collection For Homes And Commercial Kitchens
Kruze clears leftover food waste, spoiled stock and full kitchen clearouts across Leeds and West Yorkshire. This is not your weekly council caddy. It is a man and van collection for households, caterers and small food businesses who need spoiled produce, a defrosted freezer, bin store overflow or bulk out of date stock taken away quickly, cleanly and legally. When your normal trade waste contract cannot cope with a one off surge, or a domestic freezer has failed and filled with waste, this is the service that clears it in a single visit.
What food waste collection costs
Pricing follows the same load and weight system as the rest of our work, so there are no surprises. A single small load starts from £24.99 for up to around 40kg, which is roughly 6 to 8 full bin bags. Larger clearances are charged by weight, so 50kg is £45, 100kg is £68 and 200kg is £136. Because food waste is dense and wet, weight pricing is usually the fairer measure for a big clearout. Send us a photo on WhatsApp with a rough idea of how many bags or crates there are and we will give you a fixed price before we set off, so you know the cost before we arrive.
What we take and how to present it
We collect packaged and unpackaged food, the contents of a fridge or freezer after a breakdown, bulk out of date stock, drinks, and cooking oil in sealed containers, along with the bags or crates it sits in. The tidiest collections are bagged or crated rather than loose, and anything leaking should be contained first so it does not spill in transit. For very large or repeat volumes of catering waste we can talk to you about a scheduled run rather than a single one off visit, which usually works out cheaper per collection.
How the waste is handled and recycled
Food waste is kept separate from dry recyclables and sent to the correct treatment route, which for organic waste means composting or anaerobic digestion at sites that accept it, turning waste into soil improver or energy rather than landfill gas. Across all our jobs more than 85% is recycled or reused. You receive a digital waste transfer note every single time under our Environment Agency registration CBDU597687, which is exactly the duty of care record a food business needs to show its waste was handled properly.
Booking a same day clearance
Book before noon and we can usually reach you the same day across Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Halifax, Huddersfield, Harrogate and Barnsley. Speed matters with food waste, because the longer spoiled produce sits the worse the smell and the greater the risk of pests around your bins, so a same day lift keeps the problem contained. Our two person crew carries everything out from the kitchen, garage or bin store, so you do not need to lift or move a thing. There is no minimum contract and no tie in, so you can call us for a single emergency clearout or as often as your kitchen needs. Message a photo, accept the fixed price and pick a slot that suits your service times.
Alongside food waste, our commercial waste collection in Leeds takes the packaging, tins and general rubbish a busy kitchen produces.
