Here at Yorwaste we offer a range of commercial bin disposal services to companies and organisations across North Yorkshire and the City of York.
Businesses in the UK are legally required to dispose of their commercial waste safely and securely.
That’s why we focus on delivering commercial waste disposal services designed especially for your business. Whatever your size or sector, we’ll streamline your waste management, reduce your costs, and minimise your environmental impact.
At Yorwaste, we believe waste disposal should be hassle-free.
From a simple set up with exceptional customer service as standard. It’s waste management just the way you want it.
With thousands of local businesses on board, from restaurants to retailers, it’s easy to see why Yorwaste is North Yorkshire’s leading waste collection and recycling partner.
Your journey begins with an initial discussion with one of our friendly waste collection experts. We’ll get a sense of your business’s specific needs and start developing your tailored plan.
For larger businesses with more complex waste collection needs, we can visit your site and provide a free waste audit.
We’ll deliver bins that are suited to the needs of your business and begin regular collections with our dedicated fleet.
Your waste is transported to one of our waste transfer stations in North Yorkshire, where it is separated into different waste streams for onward transportation to recycling facilities.
Your recyclable waste, including glass, plastics and cardboard etc, are processed at our Material Recycling Facility and used as materials for new products.
As much of your non-recyclable waste as possible is incinerated to provide an eco-friendly source of energy to the North Yorkshire community.

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.
The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 require businesses to;
Sort and store waste safely and securely.
Ensure that you or your waste carrier has a valid waste carriers license and are registered to dispose of waste.
Failure to comply can risk a criminal conviction, fines, and seizure of assets. By signing up to Yorwaste you are meeting your obligation without the hassle of navigating through the legislation yourself.
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?
