Did you know that Manchester businesses generate over 1 million tonnes of commercial and industry waste every year? There are ambitious targets set in the city to increase recycling rates and reduce landfill waste, which are mainly through encouraging businesses to improve and adopt better waste management solutions.
Despite this, Manchester City Council unfortunately does not offer business waste collection, meaning businesses are legally required to arrange their own, or dispose of the waste themselves at a designated waste transfer facility.
But don’t worry – any commercial waste you generate in the Greater Manchester area, we can help you get on top of it, at an affordable price with our bespoke commercial waste management plans.

How to choose a commercial waste collection company in Manchester
It goes without saying, that obviously we want you to choose us at WRG as your commercial waste removal partners – but it would be remiss of us not to help you by highlighting what the key factors you should consider when deciding which company to choose.
Services offered (and additional services)
Make sure the company provides the waste management services that you need – that’s of course the most important factor! However, you should also consider if they offer any additional services that you could find useful such as waste audits, or consultations to help you improve your waste and recycling efforts to drive down costs.
Pricing structure
Compare a selection of different companies’ pricing models, in Manchester there are quite a few waste collection services that you can choose from, both local and national. Each company offers slightly different contractual terms and fees, by the size, volume or type of waste and choosing a company that is the right fit for yours is important. Always be sure to ask about any hidden fees or additional costs not covered in the contract.
Understanding of your waste requirements
Before choosing a company, you need to better understand what your actual waste requirements are, this will put you in a better position when negotiating a contract and choosing a waste service. Start by determining the type of waste you produce, estimate how much you produce and what your recycling needs are, this will help you choose the appropriate bin size and collection frequency.
Flexibility & collection frequency
This leads us nicely into our next point, ensuring the provider can offer a collection schedule that fits what you need and that they offer flexibility. It’s unlikely your business consistently produces the exact same amount of waste, it’s likely to fluctuate, and you need a service that can accommodate that.
Reputation & reliability
Look to choose a company that has a strong online reputation, read their reviews and customer testimonials – specifically booking for reliability in regards to collection times and consistency.
Compliance & regulation
Make sure the waste collection company that you’re speaking to comply with all the local and national regulations, including environmental laws and waste management guidelines – this is something you can ask them to provide more detail on, it’s legally required.
Customer service & communication
This can be quite hard to determine with initial conversations, especially as they will be more attentive when they are trying to win your business – but you want to choose a company that are easy to get in contact with, responsive and clearly provide answers to your questions, you should also look through their reviews with this in mind.
