Measure the waste your business produces
Start by observing the types and quantities of waste over a representative period. Separate routine packaging and general waste from electrical equipment, bulky clearances and unusual material. A recurring arrangement should match the actual pattern rather than a guessed number of collections. Seasonal demand and changes in occupancy may affect the amount produced.
Plan storage and access
Identify suitable storage and the collection route, including keys, gates and loading windows. Check any building-manager rules before agreeing a schedule. Waste should not block staff routes or shared areas while awaiting collection. If several businesses share a site, make responsibilities clear so one operator’s waste does not become an unexplained addition to another’s collection.
Review the written service arrangement
Ask what material is included, how missed or extra collections are handled and what records are supplied. Confirm charges, applicable taxes and the process for changing frequency. One-off bulky waste may need a separate booking. The commercial-waste service can be assessed against those requirements, with recurring availability confirmed for the premises rather than assumed from a general service description.
