F.A.Q (Common commercial waste collection questions)
If you are a business or organisation generating any type of waste then yes. Under the law of respective country, you have a duty of care to store waste safely and to ensure it is collected and disposed of responsibly using a licensed waste carrier.
Agree a waste collection and disposal contract with a licenced carrier. Then sort and store your waste safely and securely in the bins or containers they supply for collection. You will need to complete a waste transfer note for each load of waste that leaves your premises.
Commercial waste is any waste that businesses or other organisations produce. The actual waste material is often not any different than that people produce at home. It's usually general waste or recycling, although recycling can be split into different types including carboard, glass, food, plastics etc.
There are five main types of commercial wastes: general, food, construction, clinical, and hazardous wastes. Commercial businesses may generate all five types of waste, so it's important to have a plan and a contract with a licenced waste contractor for disposing of each type safely.
