General waste
General waste is everyday rubbish that cannot be recycled and doesn't require a special container for disposal. If your business is looking to have general waste collected, then we are here to help.
We offer a range of ways to dispose of your general waste. We provide bins from 240 - 1100 litres as well as pre-paid sacks for businesses with limited storage.
Our team will work with you to ensure you have the right type, size, and number of bins to match your waste volumes and space available.
Regular, daily collections are available dependent on location.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to your general waste?
Once collected, your general waste is disposed of at a modern Energy from Waste facility where it is converted into energy. The energy generated goes back to the national grid to be used by homes and businesses.
This is the most cost effective and sustainable method for dealing with general waste. Through this process, nothing is sent to landfill, reducing your business' carbon footprint.
