Business rates do not cover the removal or disposal of waste from business premises. This is because waste from businesses is extremely variable with regards to the volume of waste and the types of waste.
The cost of waste disposal from businesses will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
How much waste is produced
Which contractor is used
If you have 'special waste'
If you are disposing of items as confidential waste
We suggest you speak to a number of waste contractors to determine which is the best value for your company. You may want to assess the costs of your waste disposal every few years.
By recycling as much of your waste as possible you may be able to reduce the costs of waste removal as recycling is not subject to landfill tax.
