Waste collection in Glasgow
Glasgow waste collection that aligns with your operations is possible for efficient and cost-effective solutions. Select from daily, weekly, and fortnightly commercial waste collections at times that suit your schedule. Combine the best size and types of bins with a removal frequency to avoid rubbish building up on your site.
Waste collection in Glasgow is available from anywhere across the city and surrounding region. This includes collections of office and confidential waste, food waste, toxic and pharmaceutical waste, recycling, and all other general waste. Our current clients work in various sectors, from care homes to catering, retail, and offices.
Whether you require a simple wheelie bin service or a more complex collection, we can accommodate your business waste needs. Organise convenient collection times and frequencies with flexibility around seasonality and business changes for the best solution. We work with our clients to find the most efficient service to help deal with unwanted waste.
Waste disposal in Glasgow
Waste disposal in Glasgow depends on the material. We strive to help the city meet its waste targets by aiming for zero landfill and focusing on recycling, recovery, and responsible disposal. Glass, paper, and cardboard are recycled while rubbish such as food and organic waste may be sent for composting or anaerobic digestion.
Responsible waste disposal in Glasgow involves reducing the amount of rubbish sent to landfill sites. Everything that can be recycled should be recycled and, if you use our services, we ensure this happens. This also reduces your waste management costs as you’ll pay less landfill tax for commercial waste disposal.
The likes of clinical, chemical, and hazardous waste will be disposed of by incineration in line with legal requirements and regulations. We can advise on the best disposal solutions for other complex waste. You receive a free duty of care certificate that confirms safe and legal Glasgow waste disposal for added peace of mind.
Recycling in Glasgow
Glasgow has a household recycling rate of 27.6% according to the latest figures. 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.
