What is the law?
Businesses cannot just dump waste at the household tip or in household bins. You must use a contractor to get rid of your waste for you properly and safely. This contractor can be either the local council or a licensed waste collection company.
You also have what is called a Duty of Care to take all reasonable steps to keep your waste stored securely and safely.
What is the cost for this service?
Business Rates do not cover the removal of waste from business premises.
Our commercial waste collection service can cost as little as £165 every year. Contact us for a competitive price.
What about recycling?
In 2009-10 we ran a free commercial recycling trial in Silverstone and Towcester to see if there was the demand for such a scheme in South Northamptonshire. In September 2010 this trial came to a close, as there was very little participation from the commercial customers who were offered the service. Unfortunately, we have no plans to extend the trial or implement a permanent service, but please contact us if you would like some advice on how to deal with your business waste and recycling.
What will the Council collect?
We collect a wide range of rubbish. You can also talk to us about hazardous waste such as asbestos. This is a specialised area, but we can put you in touch with the right people.
There are also specialists listed on the website of the Northamptonshire Waste Network.
