Testimonials
The service provider was efficient, delivered on time, tailor-made the service to suit requirements. I cannot speak highly enough of this service.

Working with Yorwaste is good from a legislative point of view. When there are changes like Simpler Recycling, they'll help us make sure we know what we need to know, and also what they're doing about it, so that we know we're still compliant.
Legal Compliance
UK businesses have a responsibility for their waste to be treated or disposed of, to ensure compliance with duty of care legislation.
Commercial waste is defined by the UK Government as ‘Any waste that comes from commercial activity’, including ‘If you use part of your home to run your business’. Business waste also includes any waste produced by construction, industry, demolition, and agriculture.
Commercial waste producers need to consider if there are any regulatory requirements relating to the type of waste they produce or their waste-producing processes.
You are required to separate various types of business waste from general waste in preparation for collection. This includes dry recyclable materials (paper, card, plastic, glass, and metal), food waste, and non-recyclable (residual) waste.
Failure to comply with waste regulations can risk fines and a criminal conviction. Yorwaste has over 30 years experience of providing sustainable and compliant solutions. By partnering with us, you will receive a reliable commercial waste collection service completed by a registered waste carrier.
Where does the waste go?
Initially, your waste will be transported to a local waste transfer station. Here, recyclable waste may be separated for onward transport to reprocessors, to be made into new products. Unrecyclable waste will be bulked up for transport to the county’s Energy from Waste facility, to be used as fuel to generate electricity.
We partner with Allerton Waste Recovery Park to ensure as much non-recyclable waste as possible is turned into energy for the local North Yorkshire area. We put the waste hierarchy at the very heart of our business, and do all we can to increase waste reduction, reuse and recycling where possible.
From community initiatives, such as Reuse Santa and Get Re-Cycling, to our team of recycling experts working closely with businesses to help their overall waste management strategies and maximise their recycling efforts.
The energy from recovered waste in Yorkshire currently powers around 40,000 homes in the Yorkshire area. By incinerating non-recyclable waste, we’re able to convert rubbish into energy!
The ash that is produced during this process is also recycled to create materials for the construction industry, further closing the gap in waste production in the Yorkshire area. It’s even estimated that 2.5% of the UK’s energy is powered by recycled materials, so why not join the cause and be an advocate for environmentally friendly waste management?

FAQs
What is commercial waste collection?
Commercial waste collection refers to the removal and disposal of waste produced by businesses. Unlike household waste collection, which is handled by local councils, businesses are responsible for arranging their own commercial waste collection services.
Businesses have to consider not just cost-effectiveness and flexibility but also meeting regulatory requirements – especially if they generate hazardous waste. The simplest way to tackle this is to work with a flexible, efficient and cost-effective commercial waste collection service like Yorwaste.
What types of businesses does Yorwaste provide commercial waste collection for?
Yorwaste provides commercial waste collection for a diverse range of businesses, including offices, pubs, restaurants, manufacturers, factories and retail outlets. Our experience and knowledge in commercial waste collection allow us to create tailored solutions that address the unique waste disposal needs of each sector.
What areas do you cover in North Yorkshire for commercial waste collection?
Yorwaste covers all of North Yorkshire for commercial waste collection. Whether you’re based in York, Ripon, Skipton or beyond, we’ll be able to tackle all your commercial waste collection needs, from food waste and confidential waste to glass and cardboard recycling. Our website has a handy location map if you would like to check whether we serve your location, but if you’re based in North Yorkshire, not to worry – we’ve got you covered. We may also be able to provide a service outside of this area, so please do get in touch to discuss your needs.
How do I determine what size bin I need for my commercial waste collection?
Determining the right bin size for your commercial waste collection needs depends on several factors. You’ll need to consider:
- The quantity of waste you produce
- The storage space you have available
- Any waste that requires special treatment (e.g., hazardous or confidential waste)
Here at Yorwaste, our friendly team can help advise you on the right size and types of bins you need. We have a wide range of commercial bins available, from 240 litres up to 1100 litres, ensuring we can accommodate businesses of all sizes and waste generation levels.
How much does Yorwaste's commercial waste collection cost?
At Yorwaste, we understand that each business has unique waste collection needs. As a result, we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we provide tailored quotes based on a full assessment of your specific requirements. To begin the process, simply fill out your details on our contact page and we’ll be in touch.
How does Yorwaste ensure compliance with regulations for commercial waste collection?
At Yorwaste, we take the responsibilities of legal and compliant waste disposal very seriously. We understand the pressures that businesses are under to meet their legal responsibilities when it comes to commercial waste, including storing waste safely and ensuring it is disposed of in an appropriate manner.
That’s why we ensure we are fully certified to tackle all your commercial waste collection needs. We are compliant with a range of environmental and health and safety standards, including ISO14001, ISO 45001 & 9001. We are independently audited by ISOQAR, an accredited certification and training provider. We are committed to maintaining our compliance with all local and national regulations – and helping you to do the same.
Can Yorwaste help me with the disposal of hazardous waste as part of their commercial waste collection services?
Yes, at Yorwaste we can handle hazardous and toxic waste collection. We offer specialised factory waste and manufacturing waste services to tackle hazardous waste streams if needed. As part of our initial assessment, we will review your specific needs when it comes to hazardous or toxic materials and factor this into our bespoke waste collection plan for your business.
How does Yorwaste handle confidential document disposal as part of their commercial waste collection?
Confidential documents containing sensitive information must be disposed of carefully in order to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and other relevant legal requirements. This requires a tailored approach that takes into account both the storage and the disposal of the relevant material.
At Yorwaste, we offer confidential waste disposal and shredding service to ensure that any sensitive information is protected and that your waste collection services are fully compliant with all the necessary legal statutes. We can cover everything from the shredding of paper documents to the physical destruction of computers.
