At Business Waste, we offer expert waste management in Harlow. Businesses here, like anywhere else, are keen to demonstrate good environmental credentials by making sure that waste is managed responsibly and safely. That’s exactly what we offer. By providing regular or ad hoc trade waste collections of all types, Business Waste makes environmentally sound waste handling easy for all sorts of organisations. Waste is recycled if at all possible and disposed of in the correct manner if not.
Harlow Waste Management
Harlow is a first-generation new town, built in Essex immediately after WWII to house bombed-out families from London and cope with the post-war population expansion.
Always intended to be self-sufficient in terms of employment, shopping and business, the town had two industrial estates that attracted electronics and pharmaceutical companies as well as light engineering firms, manufacturers and publishers.
Despite that intention, it became more of a commuter town in the 1980s thanks to its excellent transport links. Trains go north to Cambridge and south to Liverpool Street, linking with Jubilee line stations on the way. The London to Cambridge M11 motorway also passes to the east of the town and the A414, the main trunk road leading east-west through Essex and Hertfordshire, runs through it.
Around half of Templefields, the industrial estate on the north-east of the town by the Hertfordshire border, is now given over to retail. The other, Pinnacles, has remained commercial, with industrial, technical, scientific and office space alongside warehousing.
At the heart of the town, a large retail space attracts shoppers from a large catchment area. The original town centre, including the UK’s first pedestrian precinct, was built mostly in the 60s and is now in the process of being redeveloped. On the eastern edge of the town, a new enterprise zone is being built on the site of the former Standard Telecommunications Laboratories, where fibre-optic cables were first developed. All this industry and redevelopment is great news for the area but means that this town can expect to see trade waste grow over the coming years.
Please note: We’re unable to offer household waste collection or tipping services. Please see the residential waste hub section at the bottom of this page for help with this.

Waste disposal Harlow
The larger businesses on the two industrial estates have multiple waste disposal needs but there are also smaller groups of light industrial and retail units around the town, such as Staple Tye and Bush Fair. Retail premises create a large amount of packaging waste although much of it can now be recycled. Paper, cardboard and glass form the bulk of that, as well as plastics. At Business Waste, we can take care of your recycling needs so that you can prioritise your business.
Waste collections Harlow
Business Waste make waste disposal easy by supplying bins for all types of business premises which are then collected on a regular basis. There’s nothing for customers to do except fill the bins up – we take care of the rest. We even provide the necessary bins you needs, from wheelie bins and front-end loaders to recycling containers and skips. We can cater for all kinds of waste materials too, including hazardous, clinical and sanitary waste that’s produced by the area’s scientific, technical and pharmaceutical businesses. Confidential waste can be handled discreetly too. Business Waste is about complete waste management. We will take care of the recycling or disposal of all your waste appropriately and provide you with the necessary paperwork to prove that it has all been done correctly.
