Quotes for general waste, recycling, clinical waste, and hazardous disposal
All carriers are licensed by the Environment Agency
Flexible collection frequencies — weekly, fortnightly, or on-demand

Commercial waste collection is a licensed service that removes, transports, and disposes of or recycles waste produced by business premises. Unlike household waste collected by councils, businesses must arrange their own waste disposal through a licensed carrier — and have a legal duty of care to ensure their waste is handled correctly and responsibly throughout the entire chain.
Commercial waste collection pricing varies widely between providers, and many businesses overpay on rolling contracts they have never reviewed. Comparing quotes from multiple licensed carriers helps you find the right service level at a competitive price — with clear terms, reliable collections, and correct documentation to demonstrate your duty-of-care compliance.

Common questions about commercial waste collection in the UK.
Yes. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, all UK businesses have a duty of care to ensure their waste is collected, transported, and disposed of responsibly. You must only use an Environment Agency licensed waste carrier, retain waste transfer notes for at least two years, and ensure waste is disposed of at a licensed facility.
Costs depend on the size and number of bins or containers, waste stream types, and collection frequency. General waste for a small office might cost £30–£60/month. Larger volumes, specialist waste streams, or skip hire will cost more. Comparing quotes from multiple licensed carriers is the best way to find competitive pricing.
A waste transfer note is a legal document that records each transfer of waste between your business and a licensed carrier. You must keep a copy for at least two years and produce it if asked by the Environment Agency. Reputable commercial waste contractors provide these automatically as part of the service.
Yes — most commercial waste providers offer separate collections for general waste, dry mixed recycling, cardboard, glass, food waste, and other streams. Segregating waste often reduces overall costs because recyclable materials are cheaper to process. Your provider will advise on the most efficient approach for your premises.
Many commercial waste providers offer on-demand collections, skip hire, or clearance services for one-off needs — office relocations, refurbishments, or unexpected large volumes. Tell us your requirement and we will connect you with carriers who can accommodate urgent collections.
