Frequently asked questions

Answers to questions you may have about the service

  1. I pay business rates, why don’t these cover my trade waste disposal?

    Trade waste disposal is not covered by business rates. You are free to choose whichever licensed waste company can provide the best solution for you. We provide trade waste services and may be able to offer you containers and collection(s). Please contact us if you would like a quote, complete a new enquiry form.

     

  2. My business produces hardly any waste, how will I know what I need?

    All waste produces have a responsibility to dispose of waste legally using a licensed waste company. We, or others, can discuss with you what your business currently produces and talk you through your options.

    For blocks of holiday lets/flats or office blocks we do recommend that a management company or one person takes the lead for the entire block; however it must be understood that the Contract Holder will be ultimately responsible for everyone.
