Commercial waste disposal in Glasgow
Methods of waste disposal in Glasgow depend on the material. Glass, paper, cardboard, plastic, and metals are recycled while food waste goes for composting or anaerobic digestion. General waste may go to an energy from waste or incineration facility.
Other commercial waste disposal in Glasgow can be more complex. Clinical, chemical, and hazardous waste are incinerated at specialist facilities in line with legal requirements and regulations. All our services for Glasgow waste disposal keep rubbish away from landfill.
Efficient commercial waste disposal in Glasgow involves reducing the amount of rubbish sent to landfill with a focus on recycling and recovery. This helps protect the environment, reduces your waste management costs as you’ll pay less landfill tax for commercial waste disposal, and boosts your sustainable reputation.
We can advise on the best disposal solutions for your waste materials. Enjoy peace of mind that your commercial waste is managed and disposed of responsibly as we provide a free duty of care certificate. This offers proof of safe removal, transportation, and disposal of your waste.

Recycling in Glasgow
Glasgow has a household recycling rate of 27.2% according to the latest figures from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in 2023. Currently the city sends more than 165,000 tonnes of household waste to landfill every year, with 50,000 tonnes of this made up of food waste. Recycling in Glasgow is important to meet the Scottish government target of sending less than 5% of waste to landfill by 2025.
Recent campaigns have promoted an increase in Glasgow recycling for its residents, but there’s a lot more businesses can do to help move closer to greener targets. Companies must arrange their own commercial recycling in Glasgow and there should be a focus on increasing this where possible.
At Business Waste we can help improve recycling in Glasgow for companies by providing free bins to separate recyclable rubbish streams. This includes bins and containers for cardboard, paper, glass, plastic, metal, and wood. We then ensure such waste is taken to an appropriate recycling facility across the city.
