Public Sector Waste Management

The public sector can produce scrap metal from a number of sources, including local council projects and hospitals. Through our waste containers, you can segregate your waste metal items for collection, where they will then be processed for recycling.

A common and easily recyclable material, we take your cardboard waste, from packaging to administrative waste. Our waste containers ensure your cardboard is kept uncontaminated so that it can be processed as part of the Simpler Recycling regulations.

Schools, hospitals and council-run facilities will all generate food waste from catering facilities. This must be stored separately from recyclable waste streams ready for collection and processing.

When disposing of outdated or damaged electrical equipment from public sector businesses, it is vital that you recycle to uphold your legal responsibilities. Computers, lighting equipment and appliances can all be collected and processed for recycling.

There are a variety of plastics that can be collected for recycling at public sector premises and facilities, whether from catering and retail supplies or as part of general waste. Your plastic waste should be sorted separately from other recyclables ready for collection in line with the new regulations.

Glass can be recycled more than once, so it’s important for glass bottles to be collected and stored separately in public sector premises.
