Since it has many different boroughs, from Thanet to Tunbridge, and Canterbury to Maidstone, domestic collections in Kent are varied. Since it is ‘The Garden of England’, residents in Kent think recycling is generally equal to general waste collection, with the exception of Thanet. The regulations for the collection and disposal of commercial waste differ. As such, when Business Waste Ltd creates your refuse collection schedule, we comply with legislation for you. Call us today to reduce your landfill costs and contributions.
Within the county, Kent has a fair domestic recycling programme, offering kerbside collection once a fortnight. Colour coded bins are provided for compost, refuse and recycling. Unfortunately, this service is not available for businesses, which is why companies such as Business Waste Ltd have been created. Passionate about recycling, we collect all commercial recycling, from paper and polystyrene to metal and glass. This is then sorted and sent to an official centre to be recycled, reducing landfill costs and expansion.
Often nicknamed the ‘Garden of England’, Kent is a diverse and huge county next to London. Famous for growing a variety of fruit, driving along the back roads of Paddock Wood or any other small township within the county, you may see cherries sold on the sides of the road. Encompassing the iconic white cliffs of Dover and the stunning market town of Tunbridge Wells, Kent’s landscape is a diverse distilled slice of England. Its position on the Thames River and location in the North Sea make it a county that not only reaches far and wide but also sometimes suffers from the ubiquitous seagulls which lurk in its seaside towns and scatter rubbish and refuse around quaint villages.
With a population of almost 1.5 million, it is the most populous county in England, as well as being one of the warmest. With a rich history, the county is home to a famous cathedral at Canterbury. Here, there is still an Archbishop, a position which dates back to the times of St. Augustine in 597. This Saint was the one who successfully converted Viking rival Pagan King Aethelbert to Christianity, changing England’s religious focus.
With high chalky cliffs, pebbled beaches, sandy beaches and a distance of only 34km to France, Kent has an ever-changing coastline, with small towns scattered around it. Kent’s proximity to London and close communities make it somewhere that takes its recycling and litter picking seriously. The individual boroughs issue waste management bins for domestic customers. However, business waste needs to be removed by a licensed company and a duty paid on its disposal at landfill sites.
Our wide-ranging national coverage means we provide local services at the best prices, whatever your company requires. If you’re looking for the best value and most reliable recycling and waste management company in the country, we’re only a phone call away, and ready to respond to your needs.
