European Union (Household Food Waste and Bio-waste) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 71 of 2013).

These Regulations promote the segregation and recovery of household food waste. They place obligations: a) on waste collectors to have a separate collection service for household food waste; and b) on the householders who produce food waste to segregate such waste and make it available for separate collection. Producers may alternatively compost the waste on the premises where it arises under specified conditions or take it to authorised facilities such as civic amenity sites, composting sites, anaerobic digestion sites or for incineration. They implement provisions of Council Directive 1999/31/EC on the landfill of waste and Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste and repealing certain Directives.
