Understanding what happens when disposing of waste as a business helps you get rid of your rubbish in a responsible way. The best methods for disposal of waste depend on its type. Separating and sorting your commercial waste for disposal affects how you store it and where it goes after collection.

Disposing of waste in the most sustainable manner can help your business have a more positive impact on the planet and save you money. All you need to do is use the appropriate bins based on the waste types you produce and arrange collection by a licensed waste carrier for transportation to one of many commercial waste disposal sites in the UK.

After collection there are various methods of waste disposal. The most common commercial waste disposal methods include:

• Recycling – The greenest waste disposal method is recycling, where rubbish is converted into something new and reusable. For example, used plastic bottles can be recycled and used for new packaging materials. Finding new uses for your waste products protects the environment by avoiding adding to landfill. Common recyclable waste includes:
  • Cardboard
  • Paper
  • Glass
  • Metal
  • Plastic
  • Wood
• Composting – If your company produces large amounts of food waste, composting is an eco-friendly waste disposal method. To create compost, you allow food waste to decompose naturally, then you can use the organic matter to fertilise crops.

Commercial waste disposal costs vary depending on the type and amount of waste your business produces and how often you need it collecting. The different sizes of bins you use affect commercial and trade waste disposal costs too, from small wheelie bins to huge roll on roll offs.

At Business Waste, we can help you develop a cost-effective waste management disposal plan. It aims to reduce your carbon footprint and save you money. For starters, we’ll provide free bins, so you don’t have to pay any business waste disposal costs to own, hire bins or for their delivery – just pay for collection.

For small businesses it may be more cost-effective to arrange less frequent collection and disposal of your waste stored in larger bins. Big companies with greater budgets may prefer more frequent collections or to use larger bins such as skips, waste drums, and roll on roll offs. We can outline commercial waste disposal prices based on your needs and help define a cost-effective disposal plan.

When your business produces any type of waste, you need to store it safely and in line with any regulations for its type before collection. This helps prevent contamination and ensure all waste is disposed of in as sustainable a way possible. There are a wide range of bins, bags, and containers to store individual waste types separately.

Whatever type of business waste you produce, to store it securely you should:

• Ensure your waste is kept in a secure place with no access to unauthorised personnel – especially when storing waste hazardous or controlled substances, such as medications.
• Use suitable bins and containers that stop waste spilling or leaking.
• Clearly label your containers or bins with their contents to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and storing waste in the wrong container.
• Ensure your waste is covered to prevent the entry of rainwater or other contaminants.

Running a business is no easy feat. You don’t want to be spending all your time focusing on waste disposal and collection. As one of the leading waste disposal companies in the UK, we make the process easier by taking on all the hard work for you.
