Recycling Waste from Hospitality: Where Does It Go After Collection?

For hospitality businesses, managing waste responsibly isn't just about compliance; it’s about sustainability, reputation, and cost-efficiency. Whether you run a restaurant, hotel, or catering facility, grease trap waste and other by-products need to be handled correctly to avoid blockages, fines, and environmental harm.


McBreen Environmental, part of the McBreen Group alongside Breffni Organics in Cavan, ensures your hospitality waste is collected, processed, and recycled responsibly, transforming potential problems into positive outcomes for your business and the environment.


How Hospitality Waste Recycling Works


When McBreen Environmental collects your hospitality waste, it doesn’t end up in a landfill. Here’s how we turn your waste into a sustainable solution:


  1. Responsible Collection: Grease trap waste, and other by-products are safely removed from your premises using our fleet of rigid tankers, artic tankers, high-volume jet vacs, and van packs.

  2. Processing at Breffni Organics: As part of the McBreen Group, Breffni Organics transforms this waste into nutrient-rich compost through dewatering and composting processes.

  3. Sustainability Impact: The compost is then used to fertilise willow crops, which serve as a renewable source of bioenergy, contributing to a circular economy.


By using the combined expertise of McBreen Environmental and Breffni Organics, your hospitality business supports sustainability and stays fully compliant with environmental regulations.
