Maidstone Borough Council Stops Commercial Waste Collections

In a letter sent to existing customers, it was confirmed that agreements with Commercial Waste Solutions will end on Monday 31 March 2025. From this date forward, no further collections will be made. The letter provided 28 days’ notice of the termination of the agreement.

This means that from 1 April 2025, all businesses that rely on Maidstone Borough Council’s commercial waste collection services will need new commercial waste providers. Any commercial waste bins and blue bags provided by the service will be removed from 1 April 2025.

From 1 April 2025, all businesses in England with 10 or more full-time employees must comply with the new Simpler Recycling regulations. This requires separate bins and collections of food waste, paper and cardboard (can be combined), and dry recycling (glass, plastic, and metal, which can be combined). Small businesses with fewer than 10 full-time employees must comply by the end of March 2027.

According to the letter sent to existing customers by Maidstone Borough Council, Commercial Waste Solutions explored if it could provide customers with a full recycling service. However, it determined it doesn’t have the facilities locally to offer this service at a competitive price. A decision to stop collections of commercial waste was made instead.
