What commercial waste collection means
Commercial waste collection is the scheduled or on-demand removal of waste produced by a business. Businesses cannot use household kerbside collections and must hold a written duty-of-care agreement with a registered carrier.
Every business in Kent, from a two-chair barbers in Whitstable to a distribution unit on the Aylesford estate, is legally responsible for its own waste. Using a household bin, a domestic collector or the local tip is not compliant, and enforcement officers from the district councils do check.
We build the collection round the business rather than the other way round: early-morning collections before a shop opens, evening collections for restaurants, and ad-hoc lifts when a delivery leaves you with more cardboard than the bin can hold.
