The city of Aberdeen is a beautiful coastal city with a golden beach that sits between its two rivers, the Dee and the Don. With the biggest population in Scotland, Aberdeen has weathered times of economic change and has successfully moved from being a city of manufacture and fishing to one of high tech electronics development and oil. In 2011, Aberdeen was named the best place for economic growth in the UK. This level of success has led to the development of a popular and vibrant city but has brought with it some issues around waste management, recycling and the environment.
Recycling targets in Scotland are high and the Aberdeen City Waste Strategy 2014-2025 sets out to minimise both landfill and waste production whilst maximising recycling and organic waste treatment. The aim is to increase household recycling to 60% by 2020. This is an ambitious target and local businesses also have a moral responsibility to keep their recycling rates high and a legal obligation to meet the Duty of Care requirements.
Business Waste offer locally based waste management solutions across the UK. We tailor our services to suit both the community in which we are working and individual organisations. This highly personalised service includes waste management advice, container hire, waste tracking, legal requirement training and recycling advice. Business Waste aim to take away the hard work of waste management and give business owners and managers back their much needed time. Used to handling a wide variety of waste disposal needs, Business Waste offer the highest standards of customer service at a competitive price including:
• Waste management (audits, duty of care, legal requirements etc)
•Waste collection (Front end loaders, wheelie bins, compactors, skip hire etc)
• Recycling (advice, scrap metal, garden soil etc)
Many people visit Scotland and the city of Aberdeen for its natural beauty and spectacular scenery. The east coast of Scotland is a lesser-known treasure than the west and, because it is more populated, the management of waste is key to keeping this precious environment clean for future generations.

As landfill capacity continues to shrink across parts of the UK, Energy from Waste plants are increasingly being relied on to keep non-recyclable commercial waste going through the system. Yet much of the conversation around EfW still focuses on perception, rather than the practical role it plays when disposal options start to disappear.
North Devon Council has confirmed it will stop all commercial waste collections from 31 March 2026, leaving thousands of local businesses responsible for arranging their own waste services. Businesses now need to act quickly to stay compliant and avoid disruption.
