Coventry City Council does not provide commercial waste collection services.
With no council-run option available, businesses in Coventry need to arrange private waste collection. Below, you’ll find the most commonly used services in the area.
General business waste collections are used for everyday non-recyclable items local businesses produce. General waste collected in Coventry is transported to an energy recovery facility operated by The Coventry & Solihull Waste Disposal Company in the suburb of Whitley.
Commercial mixed recycling collection services are widely available from waste providers in Coventry. It’s one of the easiest ways for businesses to recycle everyday items like plastic containers, glass bottles, and cardboard packaging.
Dedicated glass collections offer a more cost-effective alternative to dry mixed recycling. Commercial glass recycling collection services provide a dedicated commercial waste bin for used bottles and jars, which is emptied weekly and transported to a specialised glass recycling facility.
Coventry Airport is a growing logistics hub, attracting delivery firms like DHL. Cardboard is widely used in logistics to protect goods in transit. Commercial cardboard collections enable Coventry’s businesses to recycle cardboard and earn waste rebates.
Commercial food waste collection is ideal for businesses that produce leftover food or kitchen scraps. Collected waste is usually sent for anaerobic digestion, turning it into green energy and fertiliser.
Sanitary waste collection is essential for businesses with customer or staff washrooms. Waste is collected discreetly and disposed of in line with strict hygiene and legal requirements.
