Bin Collection in London
With a population of almost 9 million people and an estimated 1.1 million private business enterprises, ensuring waste is taken care of in London is a busy and essential service.
Residential addresses that make council tax payments will be entitled to waste collections from each of the 33 local borough councils on a designated collection day.
Domestic waste is typically separated into general waste, waste that is fit for recycling and garden waste. This allows services to be more efficient, and collection days will vary for the different types.
But what do you do if you're a business with commercial waste that needs collecting? At RemoveALL London, we're here to help businesses with their waste - set up a collection day with us today!
What is commercial waste?
Any waste that is produced on business premises is classed as commercial waste. Commercial or business waste, as it is sometimes known, includes all waste that is a result of construction work, agriculture, demolition, and industry.
The term 'commercial waste' also includes any packaging, paper, cardboard, food wrappers, cans, and more. It is illegal for commercial waste to be disposed of in domestic bins.
Do businesses hold responsibility for commercial waste?
It is the responsibility of the business to dispose of waste both legally and responsibly.
Recycling and properly sorting business waste is essential. Having separate bins for plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, and other recyclable waste will help.
As a responsible waste management company, our team can advise you on how this is done, and how your waste will be disposed of. It's always best to stick with a reputable waste management company like us to ensure your business waste does not end up being fly-tipped - or end up in landfills when it could be recycled.
In order for the business to comply with legislation, they must complete a waste transfer note. This document will have the details of your waste collector and should provide as much as two years of evidence that a waste transfer agreement is in place. It's also the responsibility of the business to store and label any waste securely until it is collected.
We collect all kinds of commercial waste, excluding hazardous waste materials - these must be disposed of separately from other waste.

London Bin Collection FAQs
Is collection expensive in London?
The price of your collection would vary depending on the type of waste, volume, and weight. We offer an affordable, competitive pricing system and work with our customers to provide the most efficient service.
How often are bins collected in London?
Your domestic collection day will vary depending on where you live and can be disrupted by holidays and bank holidays.
To give you an idea, in Barking and Dagenham, your brown and green bins for recycling and garden waste would be collected fortnightly, and your grey bin for general waste would be collected weekly.
Though this works well for a domestic address, businesses might not be able to wait for an allocated collection day, and may require a more flexible service.
We offer a same day service for urgent and emergency pick-ups and will be able to arrange a collection day that will suit your business needs outwith this.
What happens to London business waste?
Ensuring you choose a reputable waste management company will not only result in a reliable service it will also mean your waste is disposed of in an eco-friendly way.
Some rubbish will be able to be recycled, some can be burned to create energy, and other waste may go to a landfill.
Why is bin collection better than skip hire?
Choosing a wheelie bin from us gives you a portable container that can be manoeuvred to suit your needs. It is possible to move a bin inside a building and up elevators, so you can avoid the risk of spilling rubbish or scraping walls trying to move it outside.
It is also much easier to drop off and be collected, as skips need space for the lorry to put it in place. If you had planned on leaving a skip on the road, you would have to seek permission for this as well.
Companies will usually give you a few weeks to fill your skip. This can mean a skip is left on site for longer than necessary, creating an eyesore in your neighbourhood.
