Business Waste Collection
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. Business owners have a legal duty to ensure all business waste collection and disposal is handled responsibly by a fully licensed and accredited waste management provider, making the right commercial waste management arrangements an important part of meeting their responsibilities.
WM101 is a registered waste management consultancy and is well-versed in the laws of business waste collection. We help organisations understand their obligations and implement a consistent, cost-effective, eco-conscious, and legally compliant waste collection strategy to eliminate health and safety hazards and ensure regulatory compliance.
Our team can review your existing business waste collection arrangements or help put the right service in place for a new site. We’ll consider your waste types, volume, collection frequency and budget to create a compliant and cost-effective service that works for your organisation.
Our Commercial Bins for Business Waste
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. The right bin and collection schedule can help make commercial waste collection more efficient while avoiding unnecessary capacity and costs.
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.
