Commercial waste disposal 
in Southampton

Responsible waste disposal in Southampton is essential to protect the environment and get rid of rubbish from your business safely and legally. At Business Waste, we dispose of all waste away from landfill and prioritise recycling and recovery where possible. The type of material affects the method of waste disposal in Southampton.

Glass, paper, cardboard, plastic, and other recyclable rubbish are transported to recycling facilities while the likes of food and organic waste are sent for composting or anaerobic digestion. Energy from waste plants are a destination for general waste. Hazardous, chemical, and clinical waste may be disposed of via treatment or incineration.

Use free bins to separate rubbish before removal and commercial waste disposal in Southampton. This reduces the risk of contamination and should ensure as much as possible is recycled or recovered. Select from wheelie bins in various sizes to compactors, barrels, and other containers.

We provide a free duty of care certificate for all waste removed. This includes details about the collection, removal, and disposal of waste in Southampton from your business. It offers peace of mind and proof that your rubbish is managed and disposed of legally, safely, and sustainably.

Southampton waste recycling

Recycling in Southampton is important for businesses to do your bit for the environment, save money, and help keep the port city as green as Southampton Common. Use appropriate bins, bags, and containers to segregate recyclable materials and comply with the Simpler Recycling rules for businesses.

Waste will be taken to a local recycling facility by licensed waste carriers for sorting and recycling. This avoids it going to landfill and reduces your waste management costs – as you won’t pay any landfill tax for its disposal. We offer waste recycling in Southampton for glass, cardboard, paper, dry mixed recycling, plastic, paper, and other waste streams.

According to the latest figures, around 24,778 tonnes of household waste are recycled in Southampton, but the city has a household recycling rate of 27.4%. That’s well below the average for England and government targets and means around 70% of household waste in Southampton is incinerated, which avoids landfill but still has a negative environmental impact.
