How do we define commercial waste?

Understanding the different waste streams is key for any business. Commercial waste is any waste generated by your company’s day-to-day operations. This goes beyond just office bin rubbish!

Commercial waste includes:

  • Office waste (paper, food packaging, etc.)
  • Construction and demolition waste
  • Shop and retail waste
  • Industrial waste
  • Hazardous waste (chemicals, batteries, etc.)
  • Agricultural waste

Your duty of care with commercial waste

Businesses have a legal responsibility to handle their waste safely and ensure it’s disposed of correctly to protect the environment. This includes:

  • Separating and securely storing different waste types
  • Using licensed waste carriers
  • Keeping detailed records of all waste disposal
