Waste Collection and Disposal FAQs

  • bins What is commercial waste?

    Commercial waste is any rubbish produced from business activities. Any refuse created in an office, on a trade site, entertainment or leisure centre, and any other organisation’s premises classes as commercial waste. Types of commercial waste vary from general waste to glass, paper, and card recycling, food, liquid, and hazardous waste. Commercial waste is also any rubbish from:

    Businesses have a legal duty of care to properly manage any waste they produce following UK government guidelines. Domestic waste is normally collected and disposed of by local councils and authorities, but most don’t deal with commercial waste. Instead, commercial waste must be removed by licensed waste carriers.

  • bins What is included in the waste collection and disposal service?

    Our service includes the right bins, scheduled collections, compliant paperwork, and the correct recycling, treatment, or disposal routes for your waste.

  • bins What types of waste do you collect?

    We collect most commercial waste streams, including general waste, recycling, food waste, clinical waste, and hazardous waste. You can explore all waste types on our waste streams pages.

  • bins What bins are available for our waste collections?

    The type and amount of rubbish you use affects the right kind of commercial bin collection for your business. Some of the main types of bins used for commercial waste collection include:

    Explore the full range of bins we provide for storage and collection.

  • bins How often can you collect our waste?

    Collections can be arranged daily, weekly, fortnightly, or on a schedule that fits your waste volumes. Many businesses use different frequencies for different waste streams.

  • bins Do you offer one-off removals or clearances?

    Yes. We can arrange one-off waste removals and clearances for bulky waste, large volumes, or short-term requirements.

  • bins What are overweight charges?

    All commercial waste bins have a maximum weight limit. This varies depending on the size of the bin and the type of waste you put in it. Waste disposal is charged based on the weight rather than the volume, which means exceeding these costs more for our waste carriers to dispose of it.

    When we collect your waste, it will be weighed. If it’s over the limit for the bin and waste type, you may have to pay more for its removal and disposal – an overweight charge. We’re happy to talk you through this and help arrange collection of more or larger bins, or more frequent collections to avoid overweight charges.

  • bins Do you provide bins and delivery?

    Yes. We provide free bins and delivery, with no rental fees. You only pay for collections.

  • bins What happens to my waste after collection?

    Your waste is taken to the most appropriate facility based on its type. Where possible, it is recycled or recovered. Any non-recyclable waste is treated or disposed of responsibly.

  • bins Do you offer Duty of Care paperwork and Waste Transfer Notes (WTNs)?

    Yes. We provide Duty of Care documentation and WTNs as part of your service. For regulated waste streams, we can also support with additional documentation where required.

  • bins Do you cover my location?

    Yes. We provide commercial waste collection and disposal services across the UK.
