Best Ways to Handle Commercial Waste

Waste is not a mere inconvenience for businesses or something that the company has to manage. This is because when a firm reduces its waste, its efficiency, reputation, and ultimately the bottom line can also improve in the process.

Sectors such as catering and retail are associated with greater waste than others. Having said this, every business has a moral, financial and regulatory obligation to do everything it can to reduce its waste costs.

For this blog, DP Skip Hire will share the best ways to handle the commercial waste.

4 methods to handle commercial waste

1. Undertake a waste assessment – It is important to accurately track how much waste your organisation produces. Waste assessment helps you most to determine exactly what materials your firm’s waste is made up of, plus the parts of your business the waste comes from.

Knowing these aspects of your businesses’ waste production enables your team to put together a bespoke waste reduction plan. This type of audit makes it easy to identify ‘quick fixes’. Improving your company’s recycling bins and signage means staff will stop throwing away recyclable items in general waste.

2. Outline best practices – Establishing best practices allows your staff to handle waste more efficiently and effectively, ensuring your business generates less waste.

Involving everyone in your organisation, regardless of seniority or department will help to create the most effective long-term waste reduction program.

3. Donating waste – Are there any charities or local community recycling schemes that would benefit from your company’s waste? If your business is in the catering or retail sectors, the amount of food waste produced could easily equate to multiple large bins each day.

Establishing ongoing arrangements with a charity or trust that specifically seeks regular food donations, could reduce your waste costs and also increase your environmental awareness plus your reputation in the local area.

4. Recycle your waste – Implementing an effective recycling scheme means your premises and employees will be fully informed of the benefits of recycling. Your firm will greatly reduce the amount of general waste is disposed of, which means you won’t need to pay out for disposal or collection.

Complete and utter waste of time. Called on the supposed day of delivery at 10am as skip had not yet arrived, nor had I had any communication since booking online. Each person I spoke to simply didn't have a clue as to what was going on, didn't have my name, address or number, couldn't find my booking (despite taking payment) and that I'd have to wait for the Transport Manager after making 3 calls. I'd booked the skip days in advance and booked a day off work to complete a project. Finally after 3 calls, they'd located said skip but couldn't give me a time of delivery, stating "some time in the afternoon". I duly cancelled, called around other businesses and had a skip delivered within the hour. Won't be using again.

I booked a skip on a Sunday for next-day delivery which was a bank holiday. I received an email from Jon immediately after booking letting me know that it might be a couple of days later owing to the impact of Covid-19 which was totally understandable. The skip still arrived on the bank holiday which was hugely appreciated and we're awaiting collection now. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again, excellent service.

Been using these guys a lot for our farm, they always answer the phone promptly, they call in advance if requested, the drivers are polite and helpful and their pricing is better than other companies in the area. This is how you run a business.

07.01 and the skip truck comes up the street on a weekend, no consideration from the driver whilst loading revving the old diesel truck unnecessarily high waking literally everybody up in the street... Might of taken the driver and extra minute or two without the revs being so high, but no if he's up were all up!

Used them a few times now:Skips: Dropped off an hour after booking late on a Friday. Picked up first thing Monday morning. Their top soil is a BARGAIN! And extremely good quality. Aggregates:- slightly pricier than others, but with the free delivery, even on a single bag, this makes up for it and is probably why. (Others want 15quid to deliver)All in all, I personally can't really fault them!
