Flexible Waste Collection

Every business has unique waste management needs, and throughout the year these may change. Different seasons, commercial growth, and unexpected events (both good and bad) can impact the amount and type of waste your company produces. Flexible waste collection means adapting services, so you don’t have overflowing bins or pay for expensive or inefficient removals.

At Business Waste, we appreciate that things can change, and you may need some flexibility at times with your waste collections. Providing a tailored service that’s cost-effective and efficient is our goal. That’s why we’re happy to help with flexibility for your waste management, whether you need daily, weekly, or fortnightly waste collections.

It could be adding an extra bin to your service to remove a different waste type, switching to bigger containers to handle greater capacity, or downsizing due to seasonal impacts.

When do businesses need
flexible waste management?

Most businesses like to have regular and routine commercial waste collections, as it makes management smooth and simple. The same daily, weekly, or fortnightly removals of the same bins reduce the risk of missed collections and rubbish piling up on site. However, for some companies, things can change, and they need to adapt their commercial waste collections.

The main time businesses may benefit from flexible waste management is during different seasons. The likes of hotels especially may experience more bookings during spring and summer compared to autumn and winter months. This can create lots more food, textiles, glass, and other waste types that require bigger or more bins and more frequent collections.

On the flip side, hotels may want to reduce the number and size of bins and collection frequencies during quieter months. Restaurants also often experience more bookings and create more food waste and glass (from bottles and jars) during busy Christmas periods, yet are usually quieter in January. Flexibility avoids bins from overflowing or paying for half-empty bin removals.

Business growth and busy periods are great, but they can also cause more waste and require extra collections or bins. Holding an event, whether a one-off or recurring event, also leads to extra waste production that needs additional bins or collections to manage. Adapting collections around these helps save money and avoids waste problems.

Common types of flexible waste

Businesses may need flexible collections of any type of waste depending on their industry, seasonal impacts, and other developments. We can help adapt your management and services where required. Some common waste types that might need changes to collection frequencies and the reasons why include:

Commercial garden waste – any business that needs to dispose of green waste will often produce more in spring and summer than in winter months. You might want to reduce or cancel garden waste collections in winter or arrange a flexible contract.
Food waste – restaurants, pubs, and hotels can be busier over Christmas and generate more waste food, while good weather and summer holidays may also see a spike in bookings. January and February are often quieter, so adapting food waste collections over these periods is helpful.
Agricultural waste – like garden waste, farms are usually more active over spring and summer, so they may generate more agricultural waste compared to winter months.
Textile waste – at the end of a season, hotels might have a refurbishment and dispose of old bedding and furnishings, which requires extra textile waste collections.
WEEE waste – the end of a university year can see students get rid of old laptops, office refurbishments may mean disposing of outdated IT equipment and needing extra collections or bins, while faults can cause lots of returns of certain electronic items to shops.

Who needs flexible waste collections?

Many businesses need to make changes to their waste collections at one time or another. Companies in all sectors can experience growth, decline, unexpected events, and be affected by seasons that impact their waste production levels. However, certain industries and organisations are more likely to need to adapt their waste schedules than others.

Industries and businesses that benefit from flexible waste collections include:

Events – one-off events don’t need regular waste collections, so a flexible option is essential, whether it’s a single waste collection or services for a few days.
Hotels – lots of hotels have more bookings during summer and other holidays when they can create more waste, while they may be quieter at other times. Increasing and decreasing collection frequencies based on demand prevents bins from overflowing or paying for half-empty bin collections.
Pubs and clubs – many pubs are especially busy over Christmas and summer when they create more waste food and glass recycling (from beer, wine, and spirit bottles). At the start of the year, they can be quieter and even close for refurbishment, which affects their waste management needs.
Restaurants – just like hotels and pubs, restaurants often experience peaks and troughs around Christmas when they may produce more waste.
Schools – as schools close for various holidays throughout the year, they require flexible waste collections around each of these, especially for the longer summer holiday.
Shops – supermarkets, clothes shops, and other retailers can experience fluctuations in demand for certain products that cause changes to their waste levels.
