Posted By David Wright You have probably tried this but have a look at the Environment agency web site which will have a link to netregs which gives good guidance on waste. food waste shouldn't really be going to landfill anyway especialy if it contains animal products.

Posted By Martin Taylor thanks for the responses so far as an industrial entity we do not use councils for collection and in my industrial experience I have not seen food waste streamed seperately other than respect to direct from a canteen e.g. waste from lunch boxes etc is not segregated. Specifically I am trying to find out if there is impending legislation to prevent food waste to landfills or legal pressures on landfill sites to refuse waste that contains food waste any mnore info or thoughts very welcome thanks Martin

Posted By Haggis JM To the best of my knowledge it is not yet legal requirement, however councils and industrial waste management companies are under pressure to segregate and also to increase composting percentages.
