Waste Management Cornwall
We provide site-specific services to manage and collect all business waste, from general waste to clinical waste and from cardboard to glass recycling. With a commitment to saving businesses money on landfill and contributing to reducing waste sent to landfill, our specially assigned staff sort through waste to ensure nothing is wasted! We believe in keeping the beaches clean and in order to help businesses do their bit, we offer regular waste collection and disposal for all types of business waste.
No matter what the nature of the business, all businesses generate some waste and due to legislation, this needs to be kept for no longer than three days before collection. It must also be covered. With Cornwall being an area with large seagull numbers and many AONBs, it is vital to ensure that business refuse is not contributing to any problems such as littering or infestations.
We will assess your specific needs in relation to your refuse output, storage, and the cost we believe you should be spending. From here, we will create a schedule to suit your needs. We will provide you with the necessary bins to keep refuse and recycling in. Our staff will collect all business waste on specified days and sort through it to ensure everything goes to its correct place.
Don’t hesitate to contact us today to arrange your business waste management in Cornwall. From commercial waste to holiday let waste management we have you covered.

Waste Collection
Cornwall
We can offer collections tailored to your business, be it from Bude to St Buryan or Marazion to Marhamchurch. Rather than adhering to days allocated to you, we offer you the chance to select collection days that suit you and your business needs. For example, being largely tourism driven, many places will be much busier over weekends than throughout the week, so we can create a schedule for you to incorporate this factor.
Waste Disposal
Cornwall
Domestic kerbside recycling occurs once a fortnight in Cornwall, and this is usually on the same day as refuse collection. Since 2014, there have been charges for taking refuse to any of Cornwall’s recycling facilities such as those at St. Day and Longdowns. Business recycling is run separately, and through enlisting expert services, you can significantly reduce waste and save on commercial waste collections.
Recycling
Cornwall
Cornwall is a beautiful county. With miles of coastline and many areas of outstanding natural beauty, it is no wonder far over half a million people opt to live within its catchment. Falmouth, a university town and cruise destination on the South Coast, was recently crowned as the place with the most residents, topping the previous position of St. Austell. Complete with a stunning cathedral, Truro is the capital and only city in Cornwall, and it has recently put in a bid to be the City of Culture for 2023. Historically popular with artists and poets alike, the county has always been a great inspiration for creativity, something which Falmouth University has always tried to reflect.
With its high turnover of visitors in the summer months and fluctuating populations around the year, Cornwall’s waste management services are not the most straightforward, even for domestic collection. Add to that the vast amounts of seagulls and their ever-hungry beaks ripping bins apart and idyllic towns can quickly become eyesores with unsightly rubbish falling out of refuse areas. Unlike other parts of the country, Cornwall still operates on a weekly refuse collection and has kerbside recycling facilities just once a fortnight. Largely rooted in tourism, businesses in Cornwall need to ensure their waste is covered to avoid the seagull issue. Whilst tourism, and therefore hospitality makes up a large number of the trade within the county, EU funding has seen a large increase in commerce and industrial spaces are on the increase.

Can I add an additional bin to my service?
Yes, of course. We can provide extra bins for new waste streams to encourage recycling. Or if you’re simply producing more waste of the same type, we can add an extra or larger bin to your delivery and collection services if you’re at capacity.
-
Do you supply a duty of care certificate?
Yes, we provide a duty of care certificate (also known as a waste transfer note (WTN)) free of charge as part of your service agreement. This is included for free every time we collect any type of waste from your premises. Duty of care certificates are a legal requirement and licensed waste carriers can complete them for free – so you should never be charged for one.
Find out more about them in our guide to waste transfer notes.

How often will my bin be emptied?
We offer our customers a choice of daily, weekly, or fortnightly collections – so your bins are emptied as often as you want. Our expert team can advise on the correct waste collection schedule based on the type and amount of waste you produce and your business needs – such as your bin storage space and location.
-
What time will my bin be collected?
Bin collection times vary depending on your location, waste type, number and size of bins, and other factors. We work with all our customers to ensure your waste is always collected on time when it’s suitable for you and the licensed waste carrier. We can work around access times to arrange collections at convenient times.

How can we reduce our waste?

Is Business Waste ISO certified?
Yes, Business Waste has received Alcumus ISOQAR certification for:

What is ISO certification and why is it important?
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental group that uses experts to set global standards for providing innovation and solutions to worldwide challenges. ISO certification confirms a management system, manufacturing process, service, or documentation procedure meets the requirements for standardisation and quality assurance.
ISO certification is provided by a third party – in our case Alcumus ISOQAR, which provides UKAS accredited ISO certification. The standards provide benchmarks for businesses to meet, ensuring achieving ISO certification demonstrates a well-run, stable business that’s ready to grow. There are more than 20,000 management standards, but the two we’ve achieved provide the following benefits:
- ISO 9001: 2015 – helps put our customers first.
- ISO 14001: 2015 – reduces our environmental impact.
