Our expert team is here to support you through the process of choosing your services by sharing our tips and tricks for finding the right bin service for you.  

What are your waste types?

Each business will produce a very unique waste stream, from singular waste needs to more complex multiple waste types. Whatever your waste needs, we have bins to suit all your needs.
  • General waste
  • Dry mixed recycling
  • Paper and cardboard
  • Food waste
  • Glass
  • Speciality waste types
It is vital that you choose the right bins for your needs, making sure that all your different waste types have their own dedicated bins. Separating waste types is vital for the safe removal of your waste and for environmentally friendly disposal. Waste types such as food and dry mixed recycling can avoid land fills through recycling and treatments such as anaerobic digestion.  

What size bin suits your business best?

From large industrial businesses to smaller family-owned businesses, the amount of waste that a business will produce varies greatly between different businesses and sectors. Better Waste Solutions can provide your business with a range of different bin sizes to suit all your possible needs. 240L Bin (3-5 bags) 360L Bin (5-7 bags) 660L Bin (8-10 bags) 1100L Bin (15-18 bags) FEL Container REL Container RORO It’s important to remember when picking a bin size that the lid of your bin must be able to close for removal. It is also important to remember that bins are subject to weight limits, and some wastes, like food, can be very heavy, which is important to keep in mind when picking your bin.  

What frequency works best for you?

With each business having a unique waste stream, the collection frequency will differ. It is important to remember that overfilling your bins can lead to an unclean business environment or environmental contamination. Leaving your collection too long can cause business issues such as pests, odours, and going over your bin weight limit. It’s important to consider how much waste your business produces and choose a collection frequency best designed to support your needs.
