Hospitality Waste Collection & Recycling Management in Devon
DCW has proudly served Devon’s hospitality industry with integrated waste management and recycling services for almost 40 years.
From small independent bars to national restaurant chains, we work with you to efficiently collect, sort and dispose of general waste and recycling.
Why choose DCW? Our four-decades of know-how, our Zero-to-Landfill commitment, and our full-service waste management offering. One phone call, one contact, one provider. Hospitality waste – sorted.

Waste management for restaurants
Restaurants generate multiple waste streams every day, and managing them correctly is essential for hygiene, safety and compliance. We work in line with local council collection rules to keep your restaurant fully compliant and your premises clean and safe for guests and staff.
We tailor collection schedules around your opening hours and waste volumes – collecting half-empty bins doesn’t make sense for you or us, just as allowing bins to overflow isn’t acceptable. Our services cover general waste, food waste, cardboard, glass and sanitary waste, all delivered reliably and discreetly.
Effective food waste management
Food waste plays a major role in our Zero-to-Landfill approach. A significant proportion of the food waste we collect is diverted into energy recovery processes, helping to generate power that supports businesses like yours.
We supply clearly designated food-waste bins and containers to keep back-of-house areas tidy, compliant and free from pests. Our food waste collections are scheduled to suit your kitchen operations, ensuring waste is removed efficiently without disrupting service.
Hotel waste & recycling services
Hotels require complex waste management solutions that cover almost the full commercial waste mix. From general waste and mixed recycling to cardboard, glass and sanitary waste, we provide a fully integrated service that keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
Our teams understand that front-of-house excellence relies on back-of-house efficiency. That’s why we supply discreet storage bins and reliable collections that ensure your guests never see – or are affected by – the inner workings of your five-star operation.
Integrated waste & recycling management services for the hospitality industry
From one thing to everything, we can help manage a specific or the entire waste management requirements of your hospitality business.

Our Zero-to-Landfill commitment
We offer a range of specialist waste disposal services, all of which operate under Zero to Landfill. We remain the only waste management company in Devon that processes waste for recycling, rather than sending it all to Energy-from-Waste plants or incineration.
