Trade and commercial waste collections

Waste from premises which are used for business - such as shops, factories and offices - is classed as commercial waste.

Information relating to councillors and Council meetings are currently unavailable. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Businesses have a legal duty of care to ensure that their waste is securely stored and disposed of legally. The safest way to achieve this is by using a waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency.

Businesses who employ unlicensed waste carriers to dispose of their waste are committing an offence. Unlicensed waste carriers can be responsible for flytipping (e.g. dumping waste) which can pose dangers to public health, wildlife and the environment.
