Our business waste and recycling service
We provide a low cost, flexible and responsive business waste collection service throughout the county. This includes different sized bins which can be emptied weekly or fortnightly.
For recycling we only provide a fortnightly collection; businesses can have up to five standard 240 litre bins. In order to set up a recycling service with us you should also have a business waste general rubbish service with Herefordshire Council.
If bins are not suitable we offer prepaid business waste sacks for both non-recyclable and recyclable waste which you can buy online.
Our bin prices are per bin per lift. Prepaid business waste sack prices are per roll.
