Businesses
Businesses waste must be put out for collection at the timed waste collection times.
Businesses must either:
- have a contract with a commercial waste collection service provider that can collect at the required times
- arrange for their waste to be collected directly from their premises at other times
Under this scheme, you are no longer allowed to permanently store your trade waste bins on the pavement.
If trade waste bins cannot be stored on a business’s own premises, they must be removed.
