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
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.
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 liquid waste?
Liquid waste refers to any unwanted liquids that cannot be disposed of through regular sewage systems. This includes wastewater from manufacturing processes, contaminated water from cleaning operations, used oils and fuels, chemical solutions, sludges, and other liquid byproducts that require specialised handling and disposal to protect the environment and comply with regulations.
Why do I need a liquid waste disposal service?
Proper liquid waste disposal is essential for businesses aiming to comply with strict environmental regulations, avoid hefty fines, and minimise their environmental impact. A professional liquid waste disposal service like Yorwaste ensures that your waste is handled safely, treated effectively, and disposed of responsibly, giving you peace of mind and demonstrating your commitment to environmental stewardship.
Which businesses need a liquid waste disposal service?
Many businesses generate liquid waste that cannot simply be poured down the drain. Instead, it requires careful disposal to ensure compliance with regulations and prevent environmental damage.
Businesses that can benefit from a liquid waste disposal service include:
- Restaurants and pubs. These establishments often produce large quantities of wastewater containing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from food preparation and dishwashing.
- Factories and manufacturing plants. Industrial processes often generate wastewater containing chemicals, heavy metals, or other hazardous substances.
- Automotive repair shops and garages. These businesses handle used oils, contaminated fuels, and oily water, all of which require specialised treatment and disposal.
- Healthcare facilities and laboratories. Medical and laboratory waste can contain infectious agents, pharmaceuticals, and other hazardous substances that pose a significant public health risk.
- Construction and demolition sites. Wastewater from these sites may contain concrete slurry, paint residues, or other contaminants.
For businesses in these industries, as well as any other businesses that generate significant amounts of liquid waste, a compliant and reliable liquid waste disposal service is essential.
