Waste Removal Contractors

Households and businesses across the UK produce large amounts of waste every year, so reducing, reusing and recycling materials where possible can help limit the amount sent for disposal. Waste management services can include collection, recycling, recovery and disposal, depending on the type of waste involved.

Businesses also have legal responsibilities for the waste they produce or control. Waste should be stored safely, described accurately and transferred only to people or companies that have the appropriate authorisation to handle it. Different requirements can apply depending on the type of waste and where in the UK the business operates.

Landfill sites and other waste facilities are regulated and may require environmental permits. Sending waste to landfill is generally considered lower in the waste hierarchy than preventing, reusing, recycling or recovering materials.

Dealing With Waste Crime

Waste crime includes activities such as fly-tipping, illegal waste disposal and unlawful waste exports. These activities can cause environmental damage, create pollution and affect local communities.

Waste regulators and local authorities have enforcement powers to investigate and take action against illegal waste activity. Householders and businesses should also check that anyone taking their waste away has the appropriate authorisation for the work they carry out.

Clinical and Hazardous Waste Management

Waste management companies across the UK provide collection, treatment, recycling and disposal services for hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Hazardous and clinical waste can require additional controls because of the risks it may present to people or the environment.

Businesses have a Duty of Care to make sure their waste is handled, stored and transferred correctly. When hiring a waste removal company, check that it is authorised to handle the type of waste involved and ask what will happen to the waste after collection.

Waste Removal Costs

Waste removal prices vary depending on the type and volume of waste, access to the property and the disposal or recycling requirements involved. Some companies charge according to the amount of waste collected, while others provide a fixed price after assessing the job.
