Waste services
With an extensive range of recycling services we are
committed to reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill,
and will work with every business to achieve this.
As the largest collector of waste in the borough we can offer up
to three sack collections a day on main roads, and in some cases
seven days a week.
Our dedicated sales team manages the waste needs of over 3500
businesses within the borough on a daily basis.
Updated Duty of Care for April 2013 (SIC codes)
A new version of the Duty of Care will be introduced in April to
all commercial waste customers. Businesses will have an obligation
to prevent waste and to apply the waste hierarchy when transferring
waste, and to declare that they have done so as required by
Regulation 12 of the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations
2011. Check the Waste Hierarchy
Guidance 2012 for more information on how to prevent waste and
what you can recycle.
The updated Duty of Care will also include an area for you to
insert your Standard Industry Classification (SIC) code,
identifying which sector the waste is coming from. Guidance on SIC
codes is available from
the Office for National Statistics (SIC codes 2007) website.
Alternatively go to www.siccodesupport.co.uk or
contact Office for National Statistics on 0845 601 3034 or email

When non-recyclable items are mixed in
with the recycling or when recyclables are presented in the bin
incorrectly, it contaminates the load which ends up being
thrown away with the normal rubbish. Poor recycling is leading to
cost increases in waste disposal and has an environmental
impact.
