Waste Disposal - Commercial and Trade Services

Running a business means looking after everything from the marketing and budgeting, to the commitment to keeping a clean and clear premises. The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 encourages a Duty of Care on all businesses to remove business waste with as little impact on the environment as possible. This is not a service that comes free for businesses, and with landfill tax rising, many are seeking a solution to managing their commercial waste.

What is waste disposal?

There is a lot of legislation in place surrounding the storage and collection of commercial waste. This is something that changes from time to time and it is the responsibility of the business owner to stick to guidelines, for the good of the business, its clients and staff alike.

Waste collection and disposal services ensure that you comply with legislation and all of your waste is sorted into recyclables and general waste. Commercial waste collection offers you peace of mind and time to go about the elements of your business you excel in, without compromising on a legal obligation or your time. Refuse collection for businesses offers a cost-effective route to managing waste on your premises, whilst adhering to compliance.

What are the different types of waste?

The type of waste generated by commercial properties is varied and depends on what sector the company is in. Each company is an individual, which means the waste produced is specific to your business. Everything from the packaging to apple cores is thrown into the general refuse.

We specialise in reducing waste as much as possible, to steer your company toward zero landfill. We collect all types of waste, from food waste to recyclables such as glass. We offer clinical waste management, as well as ‘regular’ commercial waste collection and disposal.

What type of bins do you need for waste disposal?

There are several different sizes of bins, which can store various amounts of refuse. Dependent on how much rubbish is generated by your business, you will need a covered bin to store your waste. This is a requirement by the Environment Protection Act. You may store it for up to three days without collection, as long as it is covered. You must then ensure it is collected and disposed of.

From the smallest 120 L green, sturdy wheelie bin to a six-yard roll-top or bigger, we provide you with the bin that is best suited to your business’ waste output. This is completely free and all part of the service we offer here at Business Waste.
