Businesses, companies and organisations which produce waste on their premises are responsible for managing, storing and disposing of their waste. Unlike domestic collections there is no provision within the National Non-Domestic Rates (business rates) for the council to collect waste from these premises. Waste from businesses operating from home are also classed as business or commercial waste, e.g. garden clearances, packing, delivering, crèche or child minding.

Business waste (Controlled Waste) is anything produced from a manufacturing process, food preparation, stock packaging, paperwork, staff lunches or even mail through the post, anything that needs to be removed from the premises.

The links on the menu to the left will provide you with information on all aspects of waste disposal, recycling and current legislation for commercial waste.
