General Waste Collection

Shouldn't I be recycling instead?

We work to encourage businesses to recycle as much as possible - that's why we offer over 20 options of recycling services.

However, sometimes recycling cannot replace general waste disposal. For this our commercial waste collection service is for anything leftover that can't be recycled.

We are flexible in providing our general waste management services, meaning you can order a commercial general waste bin collection service, or fill our waste sacks and we'll collect from the kerbside.

First Mile offers general waste collection for a variety of types of waste. From WEEE waste and secure shredding to hazardous waste and sharps disposal, First Mile is prepared to help!

What happens to business waste after you've collected it?

Following the general waste collection service, the general waste is sorted to remove any possible recyclables.

After sorting, your business waste is transported to an Energy from Waste facility, where it's safely incinerated.

The process generates electricity and heat that power homes in the UK and by-products residues are used in the construction industry.

Green, safe and reliable - everything you need to responsibly manage commercial waste from your business.
