Commercial Waste

Your business could save up to 50% of future waste bills, just by recycling with the Vale of Glamorgan Council

 

We offer a mixed (co-mingled) recycling service and can also provide you with a recycling collection for both your garden/green waste and food waste. As part of our service, we are able to provide you with a range of containers to help store your waste between collections, from refuse and recycling sacks to 1100 litre wheeled bin.

 

Our friendly and knowledgeable team can help you choose a service suitable for your needs; we will guide you with the necessary paperwork, so you comply with the law and leave you free with the task of running your business. Arrange a visit to discuss your needs.

 

As a business, you are legally required to arrange for the disposal of your waste through an authorised waste management organisation. Your duty of care lasts from the moment the waste is produced to when it is received by a business that is authorised to dispose of it, consider:

 

  1. Alternatives to disposal, for example by recycling

  2. Storing your waste safely and securely at all times, except for collection day(s). This can be by ensuring lids are kept shut and locked or that bins are kept in a secure locked compound (fenced and gated). If there is no lock on the bin, we would advise you to secure the bin by other means.

  3. Filling in a waste transfer note for each load of waste you transport and keep it for 2 years or ensure you have an annual waste 'duty of care' provided by your service provider;  if you routinely have the same type of waste collected. A waste duty of care is a legal requirement.

  4. Checking that any business you use to deal with your waste is licensed

  5. Keeping proof of this.

  6. Finding out more at www.gov.uk
