Business waste

There are lots of options available to dispose of waste from a business. Waste from a business, sometimes known as commercial waste or trade waste, cannot be disposed of in household waste bins or street litter bins. 

If you own a business, you must make your own arrangements for the disposal of your business waste. 

Recycling centres 

Most of Staffordshire County Council’s recycling centres accept business waste from small traders.

Privately-operated commercial recycling centres are also available. If you choose to use a privately operated disposal site, please check the site is licensed with the Environment Agency (EA).
