The NSW food organics rules.

From 1 July 2026, supermarkets, hospitality businesses and institutions that prepare or serve food must separate food waste and have it collected separately. The rules apply in stages, based on how much general waste a site produces each week.

We'll check where your site sits and set up a service that meets them.
