As traditional resources for waste disposal become scarcer, proposed changes to legislation will encourage more businesses to consider recycling.
Almost every waste bin contains recyclable material, card, cans, plastic, office paper. As part of our comprehensive waste collection service, Southampton City Council can offer commercial waste recycling.
The viability of providing recycling solutions for your business will depend upon the extent to which separation of significant volumes of recyclable materials can be achieved. Our experienced and dedicated team of officers can advise on the best solutions for your business.
