Restaurant waste removal for kitchens, cellars and yards

A busy kitchen produces waste faster than the bins can take it, and a refit or a change of menu leaves equipment nobody has room for. Our restaurant waste removal service clears both. We work for restaurants, cafes, pubs and takeaways, collecting from the kitchen, cellar, dining room or back yard. The team lifts, carries and loads everything, so your staff can stay on prep and service.

Catering equipment is the hard part. Stainless steel ranges, fryers, pass-through dishwashers and prep counters are heavy and awkward to carry, and they were often installed before the kitchen was finished around them. The team dismantles where needed to get things through the door. Smaller cooking and washing equipment follows the same route as our appliance removal service, and commercial chillers are dealt with as fridge freezer removal.

Then there is the everyday overflow: delivery boxes, drinks crates, broken chairs and the bags that would not fit in the bin. Flattened boxes can go through cardboard collection. If the shared bin area behind your unit has become a dumping ground, bin store clearance deals with it. Waste goes to licensed facilities for sorting, and our guide to what happens to rubbish after collection explains the process.

Like any business, a restaurant has a duty of care to pass waste only to a licensed carrier and to keep the waste transfer note. Ours is upper tier licence CBDU526130, and you get a note and an invoice with each job. Tell us if the load includes food waste, used cooking oil or cleaning chemicals. Send a photo and we will tell you how those need to be handled.

Removing catering equipment from a working kitchen

Equipment has to be disconnected before it can be moved. Gas ranges, ovens and fryers must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and hard-wired or plumbed equipment by someone competent to do it. Fryers should be drained and left to cool. Fridges and freezers need emptying and, ideally, defrosting. Used cooking oil should not go in with general waste or down the drain, so ask us first if you have drums of it.

Measure the equipment and the route out. Kitchens are often built around large pieces, so a range or a long steel counter may need taking apart to get through the door, and cellar steps limit what can be carried in one piece. Tell us about extraction canopies, bolted-down counters and anything fixed to the wall. A time between services, or a closed day, gives the team a clear run through the kitchen.

Restaurant waste removal FAQs

Do you take food waste?

Tell us what you have and send a photo. A few bags of kitchen waste in a general load are different from bins of food waste on their own, and we will tell you how each needs to be handled. Old equipment, furniture and packaging can be quoted straight away.

Can you remove a commercial oven, range or fryer?

Yes. The team carries out ranges, ovens, fryers, grills and steel counters, dismantling where needed. Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer first, and fryers drained of oil. Send a photo and the rough size so we can plan the lift.

Do you take used cooking oil?

Ask us first. Used cooking oil should be kept out of general waste and must not go down the drain. Tell us how much there is and what it is stored in, and we will tell you whether it can go with your collection.

Can you collect outside service times?

Tell us when your kitchen is quiet, such as between lunch and evening service or on a closed day, and we will fit around that wherever possible. An empty kitchen is quicker and safer to work in, so the job takes less time for everyone.

What do you do with old commercial fridges and freezers?

They go to a facility that can treat the refrigerant gases, as all fridges and freezers must. Empty them before collection and defrost them if you can. If you have a walk-in chiller or cold room, send photos in advance, because the panels have to be taken apart.

Can you set up regular collections for my restaurant?

Yes. One-off clearances and regular collections are both available for businesses. Regular work is covered on our commercial waste collection page, and our guide to the commercial waste duty of care explains the records a business should keep.
