Trade waste collections
We operate weekly trade waste and fortnightly paper and card recycling services, open to all commercial properties across the borough.
The package includes free impartial advice from our dedicated experts, rental and collection of the required bins, and associated disposal costs, along with documentation outlining your legal responsibilities.
We offer different sizes and types of bins for both your recyclable and non-recyclable waste.
For more information, an enquiry or advice please complete a trade waste enquiry form.
Your responsibilities
It is an offence to put waste or recycling from a business into a domestic bin or to take it to a Household Waste Recycling Centre (tip).
The Environmental Protection Act 1990 says all businesses, regardless of their size, must manage and dispose of their waste responsibly.
You must store waste appropriately and securely; check it is transported and handled by people authorised to do so and that the site it is taken to is authorised to accept it.
You must also complete waste transfer notes to document all waste you transfer and keep them as a record for at least 2 years.
You can contact us to set up a trade waste collection. Once the contract has been signed and all further checks have been carried out, we will aim to have the service up-and-running as soon as possible.
