Commercial Bin Collection – What do new businesses need to consider?

May 12, 2022

Trade Waste Bins

What new businesses need to consider is the type of waste they produce, how frequently they produce it, how much of it they produce and where it goes. These factors will determine which type of commercial bin collection service will be best for them.

In terms of cost, if you are producing a lot of waste on a regular basis (i.e. weekly or even several times a week), then there may be substantial financial benefits to be gained by finding a reputable supplier who will make suggestions as to how you can make savings through effective waste segregation.   

In terms of types of waste, businesses often produce more than just general refuse which can include cardboard, paper packaging and other recyclable materials. It’s good to know what your business does with its waste so you can choose the appropriate service for your needs.

If access to the bins is an issue from vehicle loading or from customer access in retail environments – then either smaller or larger bins may help here. In retail environments, customers might have problems accessing large and heavy bins close to their car (especially at night). A smaller bin that can be wheeled out on a trolley may help solve this problem but also make sure you measure up your store first to make sure there is enough space for any containers before committing to choosing one size over another.

It’s worth considering what additional services are included with your account and whether you want some level of support from an Account Manager or Service team. 

The Costs of Waste Collection and Solutions

Commercial bins are a cost-effective solution for businesses generating large volumes of waste. They can be placed conveniently in locations around the business, and have a lifespan of up to 10 years. However, there are a number of factors that impact the cost and convenience of this service. The type of business also has an influence on what is required in terms of waste collection. For example, different types of bins may be needed depending on the nature and size of the business, with commercial bin hire prices varying accordingly.

The type of waste generated is another consideration when assessing whether commercial bins are appropriate for your business needs. For example, some types of waste might need to be disposed of at a landfill site, which would require more time than other disposal methods such as recycling or re-use. 

It’s important to remember that there’s more to commercial bin hire than just the cost; you should also ensure that there is access to your site for collections seven days a week, 24 hours a day so you’re not inconveniencing customers or staff by making them wait until after hours to empty their bins. You should also make sure that you have an SLA in place or support with your account manager and service team – this ensures peace of mind when dealing with any potential issues regarding your waste collection service.

Type of waste to consider

Different types of businesses produce different types of waste. If you are in the distribution industry and need a site for your bins and lots, you might require a type of commercial bin collection which is larger than what is needed for a small office. Some businesses may have heavy products that need to be collected from their stores on an infrequent basis or a regular commercial bin collection service.

Price

For waste removal, business owners typically get charged per bin collected. However, the price can vary based on the type of service you select. For example, some companies charge a flat rate for each bin collected while others offer discounts to customers with more bins. Others might even have restrictions in places such as the number of bins you can have or the size of your business premises that may affect your disposal cost. Most bins also have a weight limit applied to them, and when this is exceeded the excess waste is charged at an amount per kilogram.

Types of bins

The type of bin that you need will depend on the type of business and waste streams.

It’s important to note that most bins are not designed for hazardous materials. If you have any hazardous wastes, then it is best to use a specialist service.

Commercial bins come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, depending on what types of waste are generated by your business. The most common types are wheelie bins, truckload bins and industrial bins.

Wheelie bins are the most common type of commercial bin used by businesses. They are often used by small and large companies alike and can be stored inside or outside the premises, depending on what type of building they occupy. These bins work well for general commercial or recycling waste only, but if you generate any hazardous waste, this should be kept separate from other waste and collected by a provider licenced to collect and dispose of hazardous waste. . Wheelie bins also cannot take large items like furniture as they do not accommodate these items well due to their size limitations.  Companies with bulkier waste to dispose of will normally use skips or roll on roll off containers for that reason. 

Wheelie bins come in all shapes and sizes from small ones that can hold up around 5-7 bags of recycling or general waste all the way up to larger wheelie bins which can approximately to 20-30 bags of recycling or general household waste. 

How we can support you

Many businesses have little or no experience with commercial bin collection and the associated logistics. They may not realise that there are certain types of waste that some bins cannot accept, such as batteries, gas cylinders, tyres, and asbestos. All these items need to be handled separately by a licensed operator with the correct training and equipment.

The other consideration is the type of service your business needs. Would you like ad hoc collections? Or would you like to enter into an agreement for regular collections?  Usually, it will be possible to arrange for regular collections on a schedule multiple times per week, weekly, fortnightly, or four weekly as required.

All these questions can be easily answered by getting in touch with our trade waste sales manager who will work closely with you to design a bespoke solution for your business that will:

– Minimize disruption to your operation 

– Be cost-effective 

– Be environmentally compliant

– Offer best in class service levels and customer support

By choosing REMONDIS to look after your waste collections you can be sure that all of the environmental obligations of your business are being met, and that your waste is being recycled and disposed of by a compliant licensed operator.

COVID-19 Update

Due to recent events surrounding the current COVID-19 pandemic, we would like to reassure you that we are still operating business as usual, including all collections and processing of your waste at all our sites.

As this crisis is developing daily, we are closely monitoring current government guidelines and advice given from the World Health Organisation. Should the situation escalate we shall immediately review our current plans. We will update any changes daily and post them on our website https://www.remondis-uk.com/ as well as on Linked In.

We have taken the situation very seriously here at Remondis and have put measurements in place to reduce the amount of staff that we have in our offices by allowing staff to work from home where practical.

Our main concern is the health and wellbeing of both our staff and customers, and we want to assure you that we are doing everything possible to protect our staff members and still provide customers with the necessary service that is required.

The following precautions have been implemented until further notice:

  • Non-essential contact – Drivers will no longer request the customer to sign for work completed. Instead they will ask for your details and enter these themselves on their tablet.
  • All non-essential meetings have been cancelled and where necessary held by tele conference facilities.
  • Very regular reminders to staff and visitors with regards to increased cleaning regimes and following hand washing protocols.
  • Sales staff are working from their respective home offices and avoiding ‘face to face’ meetings.
  • All senior staff have access to conferencing tools to avoid face to face meetings and these are our preferred method of communication where practical at this moment in time.
  • We are sending all invoices electronically as our finance team are now working from home and to stop the risk of infection by posting paperwork – please support us with this.
  • We are stopping any cash collections – facilities are in place to pay by credit/debit card.
  • We are working with our suppliers and partners to maintain supply of product and have increased stock levels where possible to reduce the disruption to supply as this situation develops.

If sites have room for additional skips / bins we will look at supplying them to ease the necessity for same day collections.

These are unprecedented times, but rest assured that we are doing everything possible to keep the business running as usual and continuing to provide customers with the support that they need.

We would ask that you stay within your agreed credit limit and pay us on time to allow us to support you.

Remondis hope that you are not largely affected by the virus outbreak and are keeping yourselves safe.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support during these difficult times. If you have any questions, please contact your local depot – details for which can be found on the contact us page.
