Getting business waste collected
Your duty of care
Council guidance on the waste duty of care says business waste must only be collected by a registered waste carrier, every collection needs a waste transfer note describing the waste, and records of transfers must be kept for at least two years.
What the contract should say
Ask which waste streams are collected (general, recycling, food), bin sizes, how often, and what happens with overweight or contaminated bins.
Check the carrier
Ask for the firm's waste carrier registration number, and check it on the public register before you sign.
How to check a waste management firm yourself
GotAPal lists businesses from public records and does not check or vet them. Before you hire, do these checks yourself. They take a few minutes.
- If the waste management firm is a limited company, look it up on Companies House: check it is active and the name and address match.
- Ask for their public liability insurance certificate and check the dates on it.
- Get the contract in writing: what is serviced, how often, the price per visit or per year, and the notice period.
- Ask what paperwork you will get after each visit, and keep it.
- Ask for their waste carrier registration number and check it on the public register.
