Commercial waste collection types London
Every business in London generates waste, from offices and retailers to restaurants and warehouses. Below are the most popular commercial waste collection services, each available with our regular bin collections and expert support across the capital.
General business waste
Most businesses in London produce general waste that can’t be recycled, such as crisp packets, plastic film, polystyrene and food-contaminated packaging. We provide reliable collections to keep your site clear and compliant.
Commercial food waste
London’s food and hospitality businesses rely on dedicated commercial food waste collection to manage leftovers, peelings, and plate scrapings. Food bins are collected weekly to support hygiene and meet regulatory requirements.
Commercial glass recycling
Ideal for pubs, bars, and hospitality venues, commercial glass recycling collection services accept bottles and jar collections with minimal sorting required. Glass waste is 100% recyclable and supports the circular economy.
Commercial cardboard recycling
Cardboard recycling is essential for retailers, delivery hubs, and manufacturers. We provide regular commercial cardboard collections across London to help manage packaging waste and unlock potential recycling rebates.
Commercial recycling
Our commercial recycling collection in London helps businesses recycle paper, aluminium cans, plastics, and more. Commercial dry-mixed recycling collection services make it easy to reduce landfill waste and meet your businesses recycling targets.
Commercial waste collection providers in London
Our waste management service relies on trusted, licensed waste carriers to empty your bins or containers. By working with a range of local providers, we are able to offer a flexible waste management service tailored to the needs of all types of businesses.

London council’s commercial waste services
London is made up of 32 boroughs, plus the City of London, each of which manages domestic waste within its own area. While most businesses choose private providers for greater flexibility and lower prices, many local councils also offer commercial waste collection for a fee.
The majority of boroughs do provide trade waste services, including collections for general waste and recycling. However, a few councils, including Brent, Haringey, Havering, Redbridge, Sutton, Wandsworth, and the City of London, do not currently offer commercial waste collection.
If your local authority doesn’t provide a service, or you need more regular or cost-effective collections, our commercial waste management service can connect you with a licensed private provider that meets your business needs.
