Business Waste and Recycling
Business Waste and Recycling
The Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2012
- All businesses are required to present metal, plastic, glass, paper and card for separate collection.
- Food businesses (except in rural areas) which produce over 50kg of food waste per week to present that food waste for separate collection.
- Smaller businesses who produce over 5kg must present food waste.
To help you comply we offer the following:
- Cardboard and paper waste collection
- Recyclable containers for example cans, plastic bottles and tubs
- Residual waste collection service that takes all materials that cannot be recycled including plastic bags, cellophane, polystyrene, bubblewrap
- Organic waste collection service for food waste (bins 140 litres only) or horticultural waste (240 litres). These are only available to qualifying businesses.
Please note that we cannot offer a service to collect non-recyclable waste unless:
- A service to collect non-recylable waste is also provided by the Council, or;
- Customers can demonstrate satisfactorily how their recyclable waste is being disposed of.
