Since the number of recycling centres in Cardiff was halved and fines were introduced over a variety of waste offences, separation of waste and efficient recycling is more important than ever for businesses in Cardiff. In 2016, the local council issued over £169,000 fines relating to waste. At Business Waste, we offer a complete solution for businesses in Cardiff, providing you with the right bins to be able to sort your waste easily and arranging collection and disposal to help you reduce the amount of rubbish you send to landfill. We’re passionate about working with local companies to help them be as clean and green as possible.
As the capital city of Wales, Cardiff enjoys a level of prestige and development that makes it one of the most important cities in the UK. That status is well-deserved, with plenty of unique attractions, great nightlife, theatres, restaurants and galleries – in 2011, it was named one of the top 10 places in the world to visit. No surprise, then, that the city is one of the top 10 in the UK for fastest growth. As investment floods in and regeneration continues, many people are flocking to the city for work and education, giving it an even bigger boost for the future.
Yet more people can put a strain on local services and waste management has been one of the most controversial in recent times. Despite that growth, the number of recycling centres in Cardiff has been cut in half, from four to two. Since 2012, fly tipping has risen an astonishing 59% as locals struggle to deal with the new waste system – many residents have claimed that they have been kept in the dark and complain about a lack of clarity over separation of waste.
