Transportation and Logistics Waste Management
Road, rail, aviation, and shipping networks play an essential role in keeping the UK and the wider world turning. This includes businesses that move people, goods, and services across towns, cities, and countries. Transportation and logistics organisations create wide and variable waste streams that need efficient management.
The vehicles, goods, buildings, and people that make up any transportation or logistics business can all be a source of waste. This classifies as commercial waste and must be stored, removed, and disposed of responsibly and legally like other business waste. For example, it could be rubbish from bins on a train, in a bus station, or damaged goods from a lorry.
At Business Waste we can help transport and logistics firms of any size, nature, and location across the UK manage your commercial waste effectively. Our expert team can assess your needs and determine the best and most cost-effective solution. Call 0800 211 8390 or contact us online today for a free quote.

Logistics and transportation waste types
Many waste types are produced across logistics and transportation businesses and hubs. Passengers using public transport, staff operating vehicles, and shops and food outlets within transport hubs are all sources of various waste types. It’s important that appropriate bins are in place where possible to separate recyclable rubbish.
Having individual bins for different types of waste reduces the risk of contamination and exposure to potentially harmful rubbish types. These are some common transportation waste examples, and the bins required to store them:
- General waste – food scraps and non-recyclable food and drink packaging often from passengers on trains, aeroplanes, and in bus stations, for example.
- Dry mixed recycling – plastic bottles, metal drink cans, paper and cardboard packaging that’s clean and dry often from food consumed by passengers.
- Food waste – significant amounts of waste food from catering options on trains, aeroplanes, ferries and in ports and transport stations.
- Sanitary waste – waste from bins in toilets within train and bus stations, as well as onboard ferries, trains, and coaches.
- Hazardous waste – used cleaning products after cleaning toilets and other areas of transport.
