Commercial Waste Collection and the New Workplace Recycling Rules

Commercial Waste Collection and the New Workplace Recycling Rules

Workplace recycling rules have tightened across the UK. In England, Simpler Recycling rules require businesses with 10 or more employees to separate dry recyclables and food waste from general waste, with micro-businesses following from 2027.

Wales and Scotland have their own workplace recycling regulations. Direct365 can help you set up the right combination of commercial waste and recycling collections to stay compliant.

Commercial Waste Collection FAQs

Are businesses legally required to arrange their own waste collection?

Yes. In the UK, businesses are legally required to arrange their own commercial waste collection and disposal. The law states that companies must dispose of their business waste correctly by using a licensed waste disposal service. Direct365 helps businesses find a reliable, licensed commercial waste collection service that keeps them legally compliant.

Can a business use household or residential bin collections?

No. Businesses must not use standard residential waste collections for their business waste. Instead, they must use a licensed commercial waste disposal service. Using household bins for business waste breaches these legal requirements, which is why businesses of every size need a dedicated commercial waste collection provider.

What is commercial waste?

Commercial waste is any waste produced by a business through its day-to-day activities, as opposed to household waste. It includes general waste, food waste, glass, and dry mixed recycling. Businesses are responsible for having their commercial waste collected and disposed of legally by a licensed waste carrier.

What types of commercial waste can Direct365 collect?

Direct365 arranges collections for the main types of commercial waste, including general non-recyclable waste, food waste, glass waste, and dry mixed recycling. Services are available to businesses across the UK, and Direct365’s team can recommend the right combination of bins and collections for each business.

Do restaurants and bars need a food waste collection service?

Restaurants, bars, and other hospitality venues can generate significant amounts of food waste, so a professional food waste collection service should be a top priority. Food waste needs to be contained, collected promptly, and disposed of legally. Direct365 arranges food waste collections for hospitality businesses nationwide.

Why should businesses recycle glass waste?

Businesses should recycle glass waste through their waste service provider so it is disposed of correctly. Glass recycling matters on legal grounds, and it also supports a business’s reputation and environmentally friendly credentials. Direct365 arranges commercial glass waste collections for businesses such as pubs, bars, and restaurants.

Can commercial waste collections be tailored to my business?

Yes. Direct365’s commercial waste collection services are flexible and can be tailored to your schedule, with collections available when and as often as you need them. Services cover the whole of the UK, from Aberdeen to London, and Direct365’s team understands how providers operate regionally to recommend the best local option.
