Commercial waste

When you begin to reduce, reuse and recycle at work, your company will start to gain the benefits of a more sustainable and environmentally conscious organisation.

 

Commercial waste is produced by all businesses. As a business you have a Duty of Care to ensure that you have made adequate arrangements for the safe disposal of your waste.

 

You need to contact a licensed carrier of waste to collect your waste see our page on commercial waste and recycling collections for more information.

To start reducing your waste visit our reducing waste at work page.

Recycling is a cost-effective method of dealing with your waste, as it's often cheaper than general waste disposal.

Recycling your waste materials means they can be used again in new products and applications, instead of going to landfill where they generate harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling at work is the sensible, sustainable, easy to do and good for PR!
