Commercial Waste Collection
WM101 offers comprehensive commercial waste collection solutions for a wide range of organisations across the UK. We work with clients to ensure compliance with relevant legislation, achieve environmental goals, and meet strict budget objectives.
Business Waste Solutions
Any waste associated with a business, even home-based, is considered commercial waste and cannot be disposed of in household council bins. It is the legal responsibility of the business owner to ensure that all business waste is removed responsibly, by an accredited and fully licenced waste management company.
WM101 is a registered waste management consultancy and is well-versed in the laws of trade waste collection. We help organisations understand their obligations and implement a consistent, cost-effective, and eco-conscious waste removal maintenance plan to eliminate health and safety hazards and ensure regulatory compliance.
Whether you’re starting a new company or looking to save money on your current commercial waste management systems – our team will work with you to deliver an efficient, cost effective service that is suited to all your commercial waste collection needs.
Our Commercial Bins
The UK government has strict guidelines to keep business waste to a minimum, encouraging organisations to prioritise waste prevention, reuse, recycling, and recovery before disposal (the Waste Hierarchy). It also covers how waste should be sorted and stored safely to avoid risks to people, wildlife, and the environment.
WM101 supplies an extensive range of commercial bins to meet all commercial waste collection requirements – from bag collections and small 240-litre wheelie bins to compactors and 40-yard roll-on roll-off (RORO) skips.
Bag Collections
Where space or access is limited, WM101 can arrange regular bag collections to suit unique business demands – sometimes twice daily.

Commercial Bin Collection: What to Expect
WM101 works closely with clients to determine the most appropriate commercial bins for their available space, volume and type of waste. For high-volume producers of certain materials, we can provide on-site equipment and negotiate the best market rebate rates. We will also help to organise a suitable plan for separating general and recyclable waste.
We can arrange a commercial waste collection for any business type, anywhere, including home-based businesses. Clients will be met by a qualified member of the refuse team on a pre-specified day of the week. They will already have access to any required codes or keys, so they can remove the waste with as little disruption as possible.
At WM101, we partner with third-party accredited and fully licenced waste carriers all over the UK. This means we can offer you a reliable service, giving you peace of mind that your waste will always be collected on time.

Our recycling waste collection service covers all general waste and dry mixed recycling including cardboard, paper, glass, and more. We also support with specialist waste streams, including:
- WEEE & Lamp Tubes
- Hazardous
- Clinical
- Sanitary
- Food
Frequently Asked Questions
What are commercial bins?
Commercial waste bins are large polyethylene or steel containers specifically designed for businesses to dispose of their business waste. They come in a range of sizes and capacities to accommodate varying commercial waste collection needs.
Does a business have to have a waste bin?
Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, all business owners are legally required to ensure their business waste or recycling is collected and disposed of by a licenced waste carrier.
What waste can you put in a Front End Loader (FEL)?
In commercial waste collection, front end loaders are suitable for dry general waste or dry mixed recycling (cardboard, paper, and appropriate plastics). They’re not suitable for bulky waste, construction waste, hazardous waste, liquids, or glass.
