If you need bins or containers for your waste, you can use a commercial waste collection company, which will usually provide suitable containers as well.
Make sure you keep your container covered, and don't overload it. You must package the waste so that it cannot fall out or blow away.
You should also take reasonable steps to prevent removal of your waste by vandals, thieves, animals, accident or weather.
Waste collection companies
Before you sign an agreement with a waste collection company, check that it has a licence to collect waste.
Our preferred licensed contractor is Veolia Environment Services.
Contact Veolia Environmental Services on 0845 6060 460.
