More than 20 cafes, restaurants and pubs in Surbiton are to take part in a pilot project aimed at cutting food waste.
It is estimated a typical hospitality sector business could save around £6,000 a year by reducing their food waste.
The businesses are to trial specially designed bins that allow them to measure, track and reduce avoidable waste.
It will be collected by a dedicated service and taken to be processed to generate renewable energy and organic fertiliser.
Cafes, pubs and restaurants currently pay private companies to collect and dispose of their food waste.
The majority is mixed in with other, general commercial waste.
Kingston Council says this is over twice as expensive to dispose of compared to food waste on its own.
