The law on commercial waste
Businesses have a duty to organise their own commercial waste removal and recycling.
From 31st March 2025, Simpler Recycling legislation requires all businesses with 10 or more employees to separate their waste into non-recyclable (residual), dry-mixed recycling and food waste.
You must sign a trade refuse agreement with a carrier who is legally authorised to carry waste and pay the charges. Keep a copy of all documentation for two years.
You can be prosecuted if you cannot produce full records for the last two years. See GOV.UK for further information on disposal of commercial waste.
You can also find more information on your legal obligations in guide below.
