Types Of Businesses We Serve
The service provider was efficient, delivered on time, tailor-made the service to suit requirements. I cannot speak highly enough of this service.
From the team in the office especially “Luby” to the drivers that came to Aldwark Manor Hotel I cannot fault their service, in fact, I highly recommend them!
They listened to what we needed and sorted us with the correct waste bins a lot easier than other companies we have been with in the past.
Legal Compliance
Legislation states that businesses have a responsibility to ensure their commercial waste is disposed of compliantly. You must also provide a completed waste transfer note for each load of waste that leaves your premises.
For North Yorkshire businesses, waste disposal regulations are enforced by:
Environment Agency (EA) - This organisation is responsible for regulating waste management activities in England.
North Yorkshire Council - Oversees provision for waste activities for households and businesses. North Yorkshire Council are one of Yorwaste’s customers, and we work directly with the Council to help people dispose of and recycle their business waste.
Legislation obligates the waste producer to ensure that the waste carrier they partner with disposes of commercial waste compliantly.
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?
