What businesses must do with their waste
Duty of care
Every business is responsible for its waste until it's passed to an authorised person, and should keep waste transfer notes as a record.
Simpler Recycling
In England, workplaces with 10 or more full-time-equivalent employees have had to separate dry recyclables, food waste and residual waste since 31 March 2025. Micro-businesses (fewer than 10) have until 31 March 2027.
No household bins
Trade waste can't go into household bins or council recycling banks, even for home-based businesses.
Scheduled contracts or one-off collections
Some businesses need weekly bin collections on contract; others just need occasional pickups of excess cardboard or stock waste after a refit. Both are available, and regular customers can be set up on account — see contract and account waste services.
Commercial overflow collections
Busy weeks, deliveries and seasonal peaks can leave trade bins overflowing. We collect the excess — bagged waste, cardboard and side waste — on call or on a schedule, 24/7, so it doesn't sit outside your premises.
Businesses we work with
- Shops and retail units
- Offices
- Cafés, takeaways and pubs
- Hair and beauty salons
- Schools and nurseries
- Trades with yards and units
How commercial bin collection is priced
Every job is priced on what's actually involved: the volume of waste, the types of item (some, like sofas, fridges and plasterboard, cost more to dispose of correctly) and how easy it is to carry out. You get a quote before any work starts. Read more on our pricing page.
Commercial Waste Collection: frequently asked questions
Do I need a waste transfer note?
Yes. Businesses should keep waste transfer notes for their waste, and we will provide the documentation for collections.
Can a home-based business use household bins?
No — business waste is commercial waste even if it's produced at home.
Can you collect food waste?
Food waste collections depend on your location and volume — ask us and we'll confirm what's available.
