Washroom Services
Every business has at least one washroom on its premises – whether it’s just for your staff to use or several for employees, visitors, clients, and customers. All UK employers must follow specific guidance set out by the government for the regulation and disposal of waste produced from washrooms.
A clean, hygienic, and pleasant washroom presents a positive impression of your business, whatever industry you operate in. Due to the nature of washroom waste, special care and precaution must be taken for storage, collection, and disposal. Using licensed waste carriers and an approved provider familiar with the relevant hazardous waste disposal regulations is essential.
At Business Waste, we provide employers with an alternative to disposing of washroom waste in landfill. Learn how we aim to dispose of commercial washroom waste in a sustainable and eco-friendly way.
