Waste
Disposal
In the United Kingdom, companies generate over 27 million tonnes of commercial waste annually. Responsible disposal of this waste, under the brand name easywaste, is essential to minimise its environmental impact. Regardless of your business’s waste volume or type, ensure compliant waste disposal to fulfil your legal and ethical obligations.
Disposing Of Commercial Waste
Following waste collection, various methods of business waste disposal in the UK are available:
1. Recycling – Converting waste into reusable materials, such as cardboard, paper, glass, metal, plastic, and wood, to protect the environment and reduce landfill use.
2. Composting – An eco-friendly solution for significant food waste, turning it into organic matter for crop fertilization.
3. Anaerobic Digestion – For food waste, a treatment centre can produce biogas and biofertilizer for renewable energy generation.
4. Landfill – A last resort due to its harmful environmental impact, as landfill space decreases and waste decomposes over centuries, releasing harmful gases.
5. Incineration – For clinical waste like PPE, incineration is necessary, but not suitable for recyclable or other waste types due to emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is waste management?
Waste management, in simple terms, refers to how your business generates, stores, and disposes of its rubbish. This encompasses the entire journey of waste, from its creation to final disposal. It involves various processes and actions that define how your waste is managed.
Key aspects of waste management include:
- Organisation: Sorting and storing the waste your business produces.
- Collection: Who removes waste from your premises and when.
- Transportation: How waste moves from your business to a disposal site.
- Monitoring: Methods to assess and improve your waste management.
- Disposal: Ensuring sustainable waste disposal (prioritising recycling and avoiding landfill where possible).
What is a waste disposal licence?
Also referred to as a waste carrier licence, a waste disposal licence is required if you:
- Transport waste (as a carrier).
- Buy, sell, or dispose of business waste (as a dealer).
- Arrange for someone else to buy, sell, or dispose of business waste (as a broker).
These licences were introduced in the UK in 2014 and are issued by the Environment Agency. They play a crucial role in reducing fly-tipping incidents and encouraging businesses to make more environmentally responsible decisions regarding business waste disposal.
Where can I dispose of commercial waste?
Disposing of commercial waste haphazardly is illegal in the UK and can lead to substantial fines and damage to your business’s reputation. Furthermore, it has detrimental environmental consequences, contributing to pollution.
As a business, you are legally and ethically obligated to ensure the proper disposal of all waste your business generates. Unless you possess a waste carrier licence, you must arrange for collection by licensed waste carriers. These professionals will collect your waste and transport it to a nearby commercial waste disposal facility for lawful disposal.
Where can I deliver commercial waste?
If you hold a waste carrier licence, you are authorised to transport your business’s waste to commercial waste disposal sites. Here, the waste will undergo evaluation, sorting, treatment if necessary, and appropriate disposal.
However, if you lack a licence, you should engage the services of a commercial waste disposal company such as easywaste. We can efficiently and legally collect your commercial waste and transport it to a nearby disposal site, ensuring responsible and compliant handling.
