- Danger to health and safety. Waste can very quickly build up which poses a real danger to your staff and/or customers.

FAQs
What is a commercial waste collection?
Commercial waste collection is the disposal of general business waste. We do not use landfill as a destination for any material, instead we transport the waste by barge to a plant on the Thames. This energy-from-waste facility incinerates the waste and recovers the energy which is then sent back to the National Grid. This reduces the need for fossil fuels to be used to create this amount of energy, thereby reducing the environmental impact of your waste management policies.
Can electronics be put into general waste collections?
No, please see our Electrical Equipment recycling service instead. Items with batteries are a particular danger to our equipment and staff and a specialist service must be used.
