What Urbaser’s General Waste service can do for you

Whether you operate a large facility creating high volumes of waste requiring collections on a daily basis, or only generate enough waste to require a small fortnightly collection, Urbaser’s General Waste service can offer your business suitable, efficient and cost effective ways to collect and dispose of your business waste.

What is General Waste?

General waste consists of all waste materials produced by a business which cannot be easily recycled. Common examples of this include polystyrene, hard plastics, cartons, wrappers or items soiled by other wastes.
We encourage all of our customers to recycle as much as possible, so if you have any queries about what can or can’t go in your General Waste bin, please get in touch with us so we can assist you further.

Why choose us?

Should you require it, we can use our industry experience to help you to better identify your General Waste needs, such as identifying the best suited size and number of containers, or the best frequency of collection. We can also offer you an entirely paperless service using, using electronic invoicing and duty of care notices.

What happens to my business waste after collection?

All General Waste collected by Urbaser is eventually taken to local Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities for disposal. In these facilities, the waste is incinerated and used as a fuel to generate electricity, which is funnelled back into the National Grid, helping to power the UK.
Urbaser does everything within its power to prevent any waste we collect going into landfill.
