Animal By-Product Recycling for Butchers, Markets and Food Processors

That allows facilities to build predictable routines around the materials they generate.

Butcher Shops Have Unique Waste Requirements

A butcher shop may appear similar to another retail business from the front, but back-of-house operations are very different.

Meat cutting and preparation generate bones, fats, trimmings, packaging materials, wastewater, and other waste streams.

Some belong in conventional waste.

Others can be collected separately.

Creating clear separation between these streams helps employees follow the correct procedure and prevents recoverable materials from being treated as ordinary garbage.

For independent butcher shops, space may be limited, making container selection and pickup frequency especially important.

Larger markets may have more room but generate far higher volumes.

The collection program should reflect those differences.

Grocery Stores and Markets Need Multiple Waste Streams

Supermarkets often operate several departments under one roof.
