What does this mean for you?
We understand that this news may raise questions, and we want to reassure our valued customers that our commitment to providing exceptional food waste collection services remains unwavering. In fact, by joining forces with Biffa, we’re strengthening our ability to deliver even more efficient and sustainable solutions.
A new chapter for a greener future
Grant Keenan, managing director at Keenan Recycling, said: “We’re extremely proud of the remarkable growth we’ve achieved over the past 20 years, evolving from a small, independent operation into one of the UK’s leading organics recycling and food waste collections businesses. We’d like to thank BGF who backed us to grow the business and have supported us with both investment and advice over the last 9 years.
“Keenan Recycling is now perfectly positioned for even greater expansion, especially with the upcoming mandatory food waste collections in England. Biffa brings a wealth of expertise, infrastructure and resources for accelerated growth and we are confident this acquisition will take our business – and the UK’s food waste recycling efforts – to the next level, helping to further reduce environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.”
Maxine Mayhew, chief operating officer of Biffa Collections and Specialist Services, added: “Keenan Recycling has built an outstanding reputation as a leader in commercial food waste collections, and we’re delighted to be welcoming the expertise of 140 colleagues into the Biffa family.
“By integrating Keenan Recycling’s offering with our wider infrastructure and resources, we see tremendous potential to enhance our ability to meet the requirements of Simpler Recycling legislation mandating separate food waste collection.”
We look forward to working closely with Biffa to build a more sustainable future. For any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer support team.
