Our Waste Disposal Standards

We take compliance seriously because it protects you, your property and the environment. Our waste disposal standards are built around:

  • Duty of care: We provide a waste transfer note (WTN) for every job, showing where your waste is taken and by whom.
  • Segregation and sorting: Crews separate materials where practical—wood, metal, cardboard, WEEE, and green waste—to improve recycling outcomes.
  • Approved sites: We only use licensed transfer stations and recycling partners.
  • Secure transport: Loads are sheeted and secured; vehicles are maintained to professional standards.

If you need clarification for audits or building management, our team can provide method statements and risk assessments where appropriate. Learn more about cover on our insurance page.

Environmental Recycling Policy

We believe effective waste management means minimising what goes to landfill. Our environmental recycling policy focuses on:

  • Our approach to responsible disposal: We prioritise reuse, donation and material recovery routes before residual waste.
  • Sorting at source: Crews identify recyclable streams during loading to reduce contamination.
  • Ethical partners: We work with licensed facilities that process materials in line with UK regulations.
  • Continuous improvement: We review disposal routes as facilities and processing options evolve.

While we don’t publish exact recycling rates, our aim is strong recycling and landfill diversion, with transparent documentation for every load. If you’re a business with specific reporting needs, talk to us about regular collections and site-specific procedures via commercial waste services.

Team and Credentials

You should know who’s entering your property and handling your items. Our team and credentials reflect that responsibility:

  • Licensed and insured waste removal credentials: Operate as a licensed carrier; insurance certificates available on request.
  • Background checks and staff vetting: We conduct identity and background checks for all operatives.
  • Training: Manual handling, WEEE handling basics, sharps awareness, and site safety procedures.
  • Uniforms and ID: Crews arrive in branded uniforms with ID for peace of mind.

If you need confirmation for building management or concierge teams, let us know in advance so we can supply the relevant details.

Health and Safety Practices for Collections

Safety is central to everything we do—on site, on the road, and at the transfer station.

  • Pre-start checks: Vehicle inspections, PPE, and load plans for larger jobs.
  • Site assessment: On arrival we check access, stairways, lifts, and any hazards (loose flooring, low ceilings, or confined spaces).
  • Safe handling: Two-person lifts for heavy items, use of dollies, straps and sliders, and careful navigation in tight spaces.
  • Asbestos and hazardous materials: We do not remove hazardous materials outside our licence scope. We’ll advise if a specialist contractor is required.
  • Clean finish: Once loaded, we sweep the work area and remove associated debris.

Equipment and Vehicle Standards

Our vehicles and kit are chosen to be efficient and respectful of your property:

  • Fleet: Purpose-built tipper trucks and vans with lined bodies to separate materials and control dust.
  • Securing loads: Nets, straps, and sheeting to keep loads safe and compliant during transit.
  • Floor protection: Reusable floor runners, corner protectors and blankets to safeguard your space.
  • Tools: Hand tools for dismantling, sack barrows, dollies, and saws where disassembly is requested and safe to do.

We regularly maintain our vehicles to keep emissions and noise to a minimum during collections.

Waste Carrier Licence Information

We operate as a licensed waste carrier, which means we are authorised to collect, transport and transfer controlled waste in the UK. When you book, we will:

  • Record the collection details and destination facility.
  • Issue a waste transfer note on completion.
  • Use only licensed, compliant partners for onward processing.

If you’re a facilities manager or landlord, we can provide licence details and insurance documents for your records on request.

Sustainability Commitments in Waste Services

Sustainability is not a slogan—it’s the way we run the service day to day. Our commitments include:

  • Route efficiency: Scheduling to reduce unnecessary mileage where possible.
  • Reuse first: Where items are in suitable condition, we direct them toward reuse or donation partners whenever practical.
  • Material recovery: Sorting and consolidating recyclable streams, especially metals, WEEE, timber and green waste.
  • Education and transparency: Helping customers understand what can and cannot go for recycling, and why.
