Frequently asked questions about trade waste disposal and wheelie bin hire
What is trade waste?
Trade waste refers to any liquid or solid waste produced by businesses, industries, or commercial activities that requires proper disposal.
Why is it important to properly dispose of trade waste?
Proper disposal of trade waste is essential to protect the environment, public health, and infrastructure. Trade waste often contains harmful chemicals, oils, heavy metals, and other pollutants, so improper disposal can lead to environmental degradation, legal penalties, and increased costs for businesses due to fines or cleanup expenses.
Proper management ensures compliance with environmental regulations, reduces health risks, and promotes sustainable business practices by minimising pollution and conserving natural resources.
What can you put in a commercial wheelie bin?
A commercial wheelie bin is designed for trade waste disposal, but the acceptable items often depend on the type of bin provided. Generally, you can put the following in a standard general waste wheelie bin: General office waste (paper, cardboard, plastic wrappers), Food waste (if permitted), Non-recyclable plastics, Packaging materials, and Small amounts of non-hazardous waste.
