Business Trade & Waste






You cannot take business or trade waste to any of the Recycling Centres.

These are strictly for household waste and recycling only. You can dispose of your business or trade waste at a SUEZ waste transfer facility. PPE must be worn when visiting.

Every business that produces waste in the UK has a legal ‘duty of care’ to manage it properly until it’s recycled or disposed of. You must register to carry your own waste and keep the correct paperwork for at least two years.

SUEZ operate 8 waste transfer stations, see below for details on locations, opening times, and the types of business waste accepted at each station.
